Leavin work tonight my car shuttered then I put the car in gear and it just revs up but the wierd thing is the speedo rises with it. Clutch?

 

does the car move at all?

 

No

 

yup, your clutch is ore than likely done. Time to take it apart and see what happened. Post pics too. I like carnage pics

 

actually, check the cable first.

 

Is the speedo thing normal?

 

yeah check your cable. did you notice any slippage or studder before it went out? looks like its time to upgrade lol

 

your speed sensor is ran from inside the transmission off of a gear. so yeah it should be normal if the clutch is engaged and the car isnt moving if the clutch or clutch cable went bad.

 

clutch is finished.

 

If the clutch was toast why would the speedo go up?

If the clutch was toast, the clutch disc would be spinning against the flywheel, but not delivering any power to the input shaft. therefore, no speedo reading.

You all sound confident it's the clutch, but I don't see the logic behind it. Can someone break down for me why the transmission guts are moving (getting power from the motor through the clutch) but the car is not?

What he is describing is what would happen if the axles were both removed, but I can't see how a bad clutch could cause it.

 

i agree with above

 

Yeah I wouldn't run out and take all my **** appart till I knew it was that check outthe clutch cable it might be that......

 

i checked the cable its fine my wife pressed the petal and the linkage moves so i'm ruling the cable out

 

89si is right.........have u checked the axles?

 

sort of there in tact its in the parking lot at work until i can get it home. i looked at it they seem all there one of them is brand new

 

Yeah get it home make sure u dubl check everything......might even be ur clutch fork butthats just my .02

 

Cutch is slipping, CV shaft is broken/popped out, linkage? . The tach runs on off of the disributor RPM=engine speed, reguardless if the tranny is spinning the tires, think of it as revving your engine in neutral.

 

the thing with speedo tho is that its almost acting like ur driving down the road with it in gear

 

Ahh I can solve your problem here. I had the same thing happen to me. The guy above is close. It has to do with your differencial. Now the worst thing here is that you have busted spider gears.

The 1st thing you want to check is your axles. Usually one of them will be popped out of the trans or the gears will be ate off the end. If both axles are ok then you need to check your diff. Hope this helps..let me know what you come up with and I will try to help ya.

 

ah you guys are right about the differential thing. I've seen this once where we changed out the clutch and the car still acted like clutch was gone. Happened to be a broken diff.

 

thanks guy ill get it home and pull it apart what if the axles are fine tho?

 

Then its your diff. You can look through your axle holes and look at the diff. Usually the diff pin will be broke or something. If everything looks fine then it looks like its time to take your tranny apart.

 

could one of the axles popping out have caused this

 

Yep..thats what caused it to happen to me...was passenger side. Your car just pulls with one will...soooo if one axle isnt in correctly it will pop out and the car will just sit there.

 

say the axle is out should i try to reinstall it and see if it helps?
