Think I need a new car.
 The problem is the same as stated in this article: https://www.transmissionrepaircostgu...and-wont-move/ The problem is, my car is the opposite - a FWD manual. Only noticed engine a little louder yesterday, came home last night, as car bumped (gently) by driveway, notice an audible bang and then the car won't shift....into any gear. Tried pumping clutch - no avail. No smell, doesn't seem stuck or burnt out. Car is now noticeable louder on start up (only marginally at idle) then noticeably with increased RPM. Is it just a loose circlip etc? These cars are very low to the ground on the front end and I don't have a jackstand and blocks or a hoist, so does it need to be towed? Is it a serious problem or not? No OBD II codes/no engine warning light issues. |

I hate crap like this...too many possibilities:
Cylinder issue? Fastener issue? Hydraulics issue? Is the clutch actually worn out and slipping? Why the audible "bang"? |

Just did a little test.
Tried to dump the car into reverse at 3000 RPM... No stall, car actually rolled forward (driveway slopes down) and then revs dropped slowly and I didn't have the patience to see them go back to idle, seemed stuck at over 1400 RPM, idle is 850-1100 RPM IIRC(?). The clutch is gone, no? |

Turns out the inner CV boot has torn itself apart and the driveshaft has separated from the transmission at the inner CV knuckle.
Now I am worried about the stall/burnout test I did. Gonna get it towed to the shop etc. |
