GER 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Could someone please offer some advice as to what the problem may be with my vr6.Whilst attempting to pull off in 1st gear, I released the clutch pedal only to hear a grinding and cracking noise resulting in no drive. The same occured in other gears including reverse. Could this possibly have something to do with the drive shafts or the diff.Having moved the car by pushing, there was no apparent debris left on the road.Havent had chance to get under it yet though.Any ideas would be welcomed.Cheers.

tubby 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Just a guess ,but it might be the clutch. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 definatly sounds something related to the clutch mate, dont keep trying to drive it though as you could shaft your flywheel! Link to post Share on other sites
GER 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 thanks guys.Sorry if this sounds stupid (i'm no mechanic) but It does allow me to select gears with the clutch pedal engaged and the engine idling. If it was the clutch then would i still be able to do this? Link to post Share on other sites
Karr-Man 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 im not really a mechanic either but if something has sheared inside the clutch then there would be no connection between the engine and gearbox anyway so selecting gears wouldnt be a problem??? Link to post Share on other sites

clarkie 1 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 at a guess i would say the passanger side cv joint that goes in the gearbox. if you pop the bonnet and grab the shaft you will prob be able to move it about in the gear box end. this has happend 3 times to me so im 99% sure thats what it will be.
