Drivetrain woes - 06/02/01 03:09 AM
I think one of my CV joints stripped out, but I'm not sure. Was driving to the local Ryan's Steakhouse, made a turn and felt a pop, car seemed okay, but kinda subtly bucked every now and then, almost like potholes, but not. Then when we got to the steakhouse, as I made the turn in, it popped and shaked very violently.. when I pushed the clutch in, the harshness stopped. I drove around the parking lot a little to try and assess the problem. Driving straight was okay, although every now and then, it would violently bang. Turning it would violently bang as well. During the banging, the engine would buck revs too. I parked the car, and proceeded to have All You can Eat Steak. I came back out, and tried to limp the car home. But the first stoplight, was also the last one. Started to let the clutch out and just got violent grinding. It would kind of grab, but then start to grind again. I **THINK** it's a CV Spline, or maybe tranny mount, bellhousing, or (God Help me) Differential. Any suggestions would be VERY welcome. As tomorrow I'll be tearing it down and trying to find the problem..
