anyway...

today i was coming home from a friends house, when i noticed something odd... i was in 5th gear, i hit the gas a bit, and the revs AND speedometer jumped all the way up, as if i was in neutral (the speedometer went up though...) anyway... this happened again... i started to get concerned... then it did it one last time and failed to engage the transmission again... and hasn't driven since.

i really hope this isn't a transmission problem... i can't afford to put yet ANOTHER transmission into this vehicle... im hoping it's just a broken CV... the speedometer thing leads me to believe that.

im not sure if it matters... but it was about 10 degrees outside when this happened.

thanks in advance for any insight you guys might have.




the first paragraph sounds exactly like a burned up clutch to me.
