with a broken CV you wouldn't have any drive. so maybe it partially broke and then expired upon stopping. Could potentially be a shift fork or clutch disk also.

Gotta take a look and start crossing out potential culprits

Thank you Everybody. I'll start the investigation on Tuesday the 17th! I'm headed out of town for a few days (to see more blonde girls... with a RS2).

I'm really hoping it's something like the axle. It's big and heavy metal clank center under the car. I suspect it may be the flywheel or that size as the amount of vehicle travel before the sound was repeated was radial and geared to be about 5 plus inches and it rotating and hitting something that was noting going to to move. Hardened steel over 1/2 inch thick Clanking/Banging.

The car is 20 years old and I've had a chance to prove her a bit around Palm Beach and it's done great.

I'll update next week! Thank you again. Way cool.

You know if you use your phone the pics should be a size your used to. +/- 3 inches?

Just kidding Starter. As a new guy, am I allowed to make jokes?
