HELP!! The FC Broke On ME!
 
ok back story,

i was chillin at the at the light gonna make a left turn from Alameda to Rosecrans (right under the Bridge)..
usually while sitting at a long red light i put the car back into neutral,
light turned green, popped it into 1st gear and pressed the gas. next thing i know i hear a a bunch of crunch sounds and clanks. and it wont go. engine just idles fine no problems. shifter still goes into the gears but no movement. so i think its a Tranny, issue.

so i ask humbly.. I NEED A TRANNY!!!!!!

nah its all gears, they go in fine no problem, but when start to let off the clutch nothing happens.. no reverse nada. just the rpm and speed gauges move. so the car thinks its moving. so im not sure if its just the clutch or the tranny or driveshaft. all i know is i need to get this thing up in the air to take a look at it.
waiting on the homies for parts

Don't you have a jack? it could also be the diff or anything inside it.

socalrotor 08-19-09 07:02 PM

Take it apart before you get parts. If the speedo is spinning the clutch is good, it could be trans, diff, or drive shaft. Get you ass on the ground and reach under the car and see if you can turn the drive shaft girlly man!

lol, and if i can turn it? is that good or bad?

check your blinker fluid

socalrotor 08-19-09 10:42 PM

If the car is not moving and the drive shaft can turn, that's BAD, The diff is most likely shot.

iLikeEatPoo 08-19-09 10:51 PM

check if there is still a drive shaft. if it's not there then it's probably gone.

rotary_bünta 08-19-09 11:57 PM

hey Bunta if it is your diff i got one for sale... let me know whats up.:icon_tup:

NA_T2_SC 08-21-09 01:17 AM

... i vote its the clutch...

socalrotor 08-21-09 01:52 AM

Why would the speedo still work then? Power must be getting to the output shaft of the tranny or the speedo wouldn't work.

Battle Cat 08-21-09 02:01 AM

the diff on the car should be good, i installed a s4 gxl lsd only had 40k miles on the lsd

rotary_bünta 08-21-09 02:22 AM

^^ I've ruled out the diff based on the noise zero. sounds more clutchy like.. lol

fc pro am 08-21-09 11:13 AM

Damn clutch goblins...haters.

DivinDriver 08-21-09 12:27 PM

Don't see how the speedo can indicate without the car moving, if it's a clutch issue.

nightridaz777 08-21-09 01:53 PM

if the speedometer is going up. its prolly the driveshaft. have you looked under the car already?

Handful 08-21-09 02:00 PM

Diagnose it. Remove the Drive shaft and see what it does. Check the Trans oil and see what it looks like. Any bits of metal? How Does the Clutch feel? If it actually Grinds in all Gears its possible its the main gear.

Sketch_hs 08-21-09 02:03 PM

driveshaft or diff

why isn't this fixed yet?
