Default Problem i dont even know what catagory to put this in

I dont even know what sub-forum to put this in so i just threw it up in here.

My car is f*ed up obveously. I heard a pop yesterday when driving, and from then on the rear end hops really really bad. Like your driving with no torque arm. It seems to get worse the longer you drive it, and get better the longer it sets. I jacked it up, and didnt find anything broke.

Any ideas

Um...broken rear gears? did you pull your rear cover to inspect the inside?

yea this (well i think) happened to my friends dad's car. We were driving it and it made this real bad popping sound. But it wasnt *pop**pop**pop* it was like *pop*______*pop*______*pop* but would go faster the faster we would go than it just gave out and we rolled and couldnt move anymore..obviously the gears fucked up. That's the only thing i could think of but idk. Hope you find the problem, might wanna bring it to a shop
