Lost all gears in my 2001 Boxster today...Help!

Is it making any noise while spinning with clutch out. You could have broken all the bolts off in one half shaft. With out LSD the car won't drive. I've had this happen.

I bet the axle on the driver's side disconnected... The bolts came loose (some fell out) and you broke a couple. Since you just had the clutch work done I'm guessing they didn't secure the bolts.

Thank you all for the quick replies. I've been browsing this forum, and I think it is very likely that those bolts have come loose/sheared off from the axle. I had it towed to my Indy shop this evening and they are going to look at it in the morning. I will keep you all posted, and update the thread once I learn more. Hopefully it will be warrantied under the clutch work I just had done with them...or at least not empty my wallet. I wish my first post here was under better circumstances but oh well...life happens.


Also, thank you for the offer 78F350, if it turns out that it was in fact my transmission disintegrating then I will be sure to send you a PM.

+1
+ always recommend to re- torque the bolts after 500 miles.
especially on the 6 speeds trans.
