Sounds expensive.

Usually when something sounds like it's destroying itself leaving it running isn't a good option.

does the clutch still feel good? does it go into everygear smoothly?? i know when my tcase when out it came to a halt really quick and sounded like *** when in gear. when the tow truck got there i told him what happened and that it wont move on its own cause the tcase blew. he looked at me like he didnt believe me so i showed him. then he said it was way more than just a transfer case. to which i replied 'just tow the car and leave the mechanics too me.'

try to post a better video. Also give more details. and what do you mean by this "also when it skidded i clutched in and it didn't do anything" <will the car move? becasue the throw out bearing could have disentigrated. it could be lodged somewhere in there. But try not to run the car longer than you have to. also see if you can barrow a snake camera, pull the spark plugs and look into the cylinders. James

Before it happed i was doing nothing even the weeks before it, i had just got a new clutch i was babying the car for weeks also there were no sounds before that started happening

the car had started bumping a little bit when turning and that was all

im thinking Seized CV joint?

there had been no previous problems with the car before that


And yea the car still goes into every gear fine and the clutch acts normal
