Violent Vibration! w/Knocking from front end
Okay i was gonna do a search but im too stressed out right now so heres my problem.
Driving home from work i hit a little dip in the road, No biggy right? Wrong. So im driving hit the bump an all of a sudden my car starts shaking violently under throttle. I hit the clutch an it stops, Let off the clutch an it stops but the moment i get back on the gas it starts shaking. Pull off the side of the highway an start creeping to the next exit doing about 20 MPH, an i hear something slapping around in the front end. I creep an its shakes still but slower shaking like as if i almost had a bent wheel or somthing. I pulled the ebrake an let off the clutch in gear an it wasnt knocking around of vibrating but idk if that rules anything out.. goes into gears fine. Axles look like there fine. Not sure though. Cars lowered cant really get a good look you know?. im thinking axle bind? Or ppl have been telling me the clutch shattered its got a stage 3 spec in it an it has maybee 10k on it? So idk why it would be that but anything is possible, I really dont know what it could be its 747pm right now an its dark and i cant see anything. I did see with the minimal lighting i had that it was not leaking trans fluid. The driver axle has some transfluid on it an on the trans itself near ware the axle is connected but it looks like someone spilled a little trans fluid on it. I dont rememeber if it was like that already. It looked to be fresh fluid. So any opinions on this problem is greatly appreciated. If anyone has had the same symptoms before Please comment! Thank you guys in advanced!

This is the internet and some of the questions really are retarded.
" my taps are leaking, whats wrong?"
fml.
maybe his car is falling apart from abuse/loose nuts and bolts/crashing into a 6 ft deep pothole?
we have no way of knowing.
he also has coil overs. Maybe they got damaged.
He has leaking fluid. Maybe the TOB is done
He has a stroker motor. Maybe the flywheel is loose.
I dont know. Do you? I just cant help, can you? He lives in PA, there are some good guys out there that can look at his car and help him?

probably not. But thats not the whole story hitting a pot hole may just be the straw that broke the camels back. He said the TOB was on the way out. Assuming the TOB is leaking /failing etc, at some time the soaked clutch lining/slipped clutch etc is going to fail.
