Hi there,

Just check that you have not knocked the transfer into neutral with out knowing, if that is ok, see if the tail shaft is turning when in gear and is the speedo working when in gear?

Hi there,

With the engine running and foot off the clutch can you select gears with out it trying to grind?

Yes I can shift and it doesn't grind the gears. And the speedo don't move when I hit the gas. And the shaft is not moving.

Hi there,

The drive has been lost between the engine & the transmission, either the clutch has shattered or the input shaft in the gearbox has snapped, regardless the transmission must be removed to inspect this further.
