another f#@kin gearbox problem....i think

[youda]

Hey guys was dropin my grandparents of at the airport just going into second gear and i about to give it light acceleration when i hear a metalic tink and then notthing. car just free reved. rolled to a stop with the engine still running and in gear. i tried to change gear and it went in all the other gears fine, evn clutch felt normal but nothing would get the car to move. It just kept free reving on its own like i was in neutral.
i got under the car and there didnt apear to be and broken axiles (only a quick insp).

any ideas people, im getting the car towed home tomorrow morning i just wanna give myself a heads up on what to expexct.

cheers

Could be a few different things. More than likely....you sheared the hub off your clutch disk.

I would get the car home, then pull the transmission and inspect the clutch.

ideas,

transfer case output shaft.

centre diff.

both of those made a tink sound when i snapped/shattered them.

though i was beating on the car, not driving kindly.

even with the centre diff broken, it should still want to move forward, but it will feel like a slipping clutch.

by by input sharft, same thing happend to me. snaped it straight off at the twin plate,lots of hard launches over many years take there toll.

it didnt wanna move forward at all, i stood outside the car with it in secind gear and peaked underneath, no drive shafts were spinning. and no rattling noises

And you checked your shift cables to make sure that the retention clips are still holding the cables to the bracketry?

Money is still on clutch disk hub sheared, or input shaft sheared.

 

[youda]

the clutch is two months old and is a solid center, it better not have sheared.

Hrmm.. Sounds like a bad clutch. That was the same issue with the car i bought. starts fine, and then can move into any gear and it didnt move. The clutch was nice and blue and the flywheel had cracks in it. So i replaced clutch, flywheel and pressure plate. What clutch did you put in? Was it a new pressure plate aswell or just a clutch?

It might also be possible that you have broken the input shaft. Best bet is to pull the box out and check it for yourself.

its a fidanza flywheel with an xtd 540hp clutch and preassure plate. ceramic six puc solid centre.

my gvr4 had a buggered clutch when i bought it... the box bolts had come a bit loose and the box was running on a slight angle and it chewed the centre of the clutch out...

i dare say its something similar, something has come loose and failed/let go

 

[to4garret]

get under the bonnet and have someone push in and out the clutch and listen for noises?

 

[trippy]

its to do with the input shaft or the centre of the clutch has torn out.

 

[GVR40]

I agree with trippy stripped teeth/ sheared input shaft or clutch centre
