Hi Gang, long time no see. The other day I was driving alon (minding my own business). I was stopped at a red light. As I began to pull away after the light changed, I heard a loud clunk, and, while the engine kept running, there was no drive. As I coasted into a parking lot, I looked in my mirror to see if I had left anything in the road - no. Anyways, The car now sits in the garage awaiting repair. Where should I begin. A cursory look didn't reveal anything obviously wrong. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Thanks in advance for your replies |

Seems most likely to me that a CV joint has failed. If you start it up and pop it into gear while somone is looking (perhaps with eye protection) back there - It ought to be obvious that this is happenning. Don't do this for very long since you're only adding damaing to an NLA part.... Theres a crew on the board making new 914 CVs out of bug parts - so that would be the way to go for a replacement.
If it's not that then: Could also be that you're not getting into gear? Something gone in the transmission? Clutch problem potentially? |
