So I was running up to the store to drop off some Red Box movies, and pulling away from a stop sign I heard a loud pop....then the car stopped moving. The engine was still running and idling fine, but when I put it into 1st again and tried to pull away, the car didn't move and I could hear a sound like rocks in a rock tumbler. I'm guessing clutch pieces rattling around the bell housing?
I tried just shifting through the gears while stopped and I could find every gear fine, so I'm hoping it's nothing internal to the trans. Luckily this happened just a few hundred yards from my house in my neighborhood so getting it back to my house was easy. I'm going to have it towed to a local aircooled shop. But does this sound like a clutch disc that shattered, or possibly something more serious? Of course this had to happen just after I sold my Karmann Ghia, so I have no other means of transport except to borrow my girlfriend's car! |

Bruce, if it hasn't been said, you are the man! I'm going to pull the axles and CVs and check everything out.
Mike Bellis, I'll let you know the measurements once the axles get pulled and maybe if you have something in the right size we can work something out. |
