my son said he was on the way home. he puts car into first gear hears some sort of grinding on right side (sounded like it was under the car floorboard) . will not move after that. is it the slave clutch. or something else trashed. i jacked the car up. can grab passenger side cv axle and turn it. it will make some sort of clunking noise, like something is broken loose . what is your verdict?[img:1811bc7ddf]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/543643_guitar_1.jpg[/img:1811bc7ddf]

That is very unusual. Did u verifie oil level & ck. underneath of trans. case for poss. hole from road debris ? If oil o.k. , sounds like differential broken providing all o.k. out at wheels. But 1st ck. the following---- If u hear noise inside trans. when spin axles, be carefull noise travels ! Be worth your while to r & r both axles remove boot bads & look inside, inner or outer joints on axle shafts may also be broken inside. QUICKEST CK.-- With flat edge pry bar pop inner axle joint - " PATIALLY " - out of trans. w/drain bucket under trans.. Then remove kotter pin & 17mm nut lower ball joint. Pop ball joint from lower steer knuckle. CAREFULLY pull inner joint out of trans. w/ a squeeze method holding joints together as u pull . This will prevent joints from seperating inside which can be difficult to fix w/out take appart. Usually if pulled out by inner joint this wont happen. GOOD LUCK !
