He didn't say there would be. He means lift you car up and look in the bell housing. (i.e. the dome looking part of the transmission that bolts to the back of the engine.) That's where your clutch is. . . . . or whatever's left of it if that is what happened. (The video wont actually load for me
)

Sounds like that 'welded' dif decided to unweld itself.
Something to do though is to get the rear end up into the air and try and move the wheels with the car out of gear, then again with it in gear. Its obviously not engine related as the motor still 'sounded' healthy, and ive never had a motor that made that aweful screeching when running on 1 rotor.

ok so i got the news from the mechanic shop and what happened is the differential broke badly and pushed the axles outward. now we bought a used differential and car is back running 
but she is gonna stay a commuter
thanks everyone for your help and i advice welding the differential is not a good idea or at least not all cars.

Welding a diff on a street car is crazy anyways!
My Buddy's kid welded a diff on his Dodge truck,and it let go...the Rear wheel flew right off,and rolled down a Hill and into the Canal!...never to be seen again.
The Crazy thing about it is the Kid drive HOME on 3 wheels!!!!
