As stated my car wont move in any gear. I put it in to 1st gear and try and take off and the car acts like it is in neutral. I tried it all five gears and reverse and still nothing. There are no visible leaks under the car and i really dont know what the heck is going on. Any help is greately appreciated.

does it feel normal going into gear? or like nothings there?

time for a new clutch, or your shift linkages, or slave cylinder.

hmm.. you might have broke an axle.. not to make a stupid comment but thats the only thing i can think of lol

ls1fbody

mine did this when my CV joint came apart. Have you done any suspension work recently?

no suspension work the car is bone stock...... it feels like it goes into gear like normal but it just wont move when i release the clutch and accelerate???

The car would knock BAD during normal operations while turning and it this just surprised the hell out of me I was not even expecting it!

axle or diff

what will the axles look like ?????? torn to shreds! cracked!!! ?? is there any kind of test i can do to figure out exactly whats wrong with it?

ls1fbody

if it clicked, that means it was the CV, and i bet you have an open diff....

insylem

Axel, CV Shaft, Half Shaft, Drive shaft ect...
Its the round thing that comes out of the transmition, goes to some ruber boot, then another round shaft, that goes to another boot next to your wheel.

any chances it might be the clutch.? IF not how much does a good axle job cost??

call local junkyard for an axel

first, crawl under and pull on your axles, they shouldn't move in or out. if they do, you have an axle problem.

so i pulled the hell out of both axles and looks like thats what it is for know.... the driver side one was sounds like it is releasing air when you tug on it and the passanger side one seems okay... the broke one had some gunk seeping from it was is it ? Thank for all the help!

ls1fbody

possibly. I know mine was just an issue of a small C clip coming out, allowing the shaft to come apart from the CV joint itself

i think mine is a little bigger problem its snapped in half. How long does it take to replace an axle and would i have to replace both or just the damaged one?

Well i had my wife step on the accelerator and the broken axle spins but wheel will not turn. The other axle just stays in place. Could it just be a axle that i need to replace?

ls1fbody

yep, just the axle. jack up the car, pull off the wheel. Undo the bolt in the bottom of the knuckle that pinches the ball joint, remove the knuckle from the control arm. Remove the abs sensor connector. Remove two strut to knuckle bolts. Remove axle, it may require an axle puller from Autozone (you can rent)

Install is reverse of removal.

Good luck.

P.S. How do you snap an axle clean in half, and just randomly one day the car doesn't move?

Apparently the SC'd cars have axles made of glass.

Go down to your local parts store and get one. They are about $60... I did this when I broke one of mine.. I bought mine from an Orielly's

Left and right are the same part # as well..

Thanks for all the help! I went down to Oriley's and they had the part in stock. Took about 30 min to replace thanks .

Thanks for all the help bro!

An Axel is not something i would trust getting at a Junk yard.

With a locking diffrential the vehical SHOULD be able to move (one wheel drive) with a snapped axel. It will torque stear like a ************ though.
