cv - flexible connection between tranny and axle.

As a test:

put on emergency brake
start engine
put tranny in any gear & let out clutch
have someone watch cv joint

if cv joint is bad, the joint will rotate, however axle will not

cv joint still my first guess, then clutch (slipping lately?). But ring gear is waaaay out there. Even further than NY.

it was very odd... BUT... I did have a issue getting the car back into gear while I was still rolling like I had no clutch. When we checked the the cv joints you could hear the car in each different gear but still no output to the axles as far as my tech could tell. I wish it to be as small as a cv joint. I will shoot him an email to link him to the forum maybe I can get some feedback from him through the forum. I am pretty sure that he will not be able to get to look at it till next week. I can go there tommorrow also and check again on the dv joints. Thanks for your help on this subject.

Down to earth and a shop that you can eat off the floor.
