Default Did I blow my Clutch Or Tranny?

I did a hard pull and shifted from 3rd to 4th when I heard a clunk! I took it out

of gear and slowed down and then put it in 5th just to hear the GRINDING and the

rpms rising freely I then immediately pulled it out of 5th and tried 6th the same

grinding and revving! So I limped off the highway to realize the car is doing this

in every gear! The clutch pedal feels fine and the transmission shifts in gear

normal..Clutch has 105,000 never replaced......SO CLUTCH or

TRANSMISSION? OR REAR END? (Whiny Moser 9 inch 4.11)

if its in every gear, it sounds like the clutch.

but grinding would indicate something in the transmission though.

Me personally, i would be thinking clutch, input shaft or rear. Im no expert, but i dont think youd lose every gear at once, inside the trans.

My guess would be either frayed clutch lining or you stripped the center right out of the disk.

Can you shut the car off, put it in any gear, then start the car with the clutch in and drive away normally? Or does the car lurch forward when you try to start it like you don't have the clutch in at all? If you haven't tried this PLEASE make sure there is nothing to hit in front of you!

I'm pretty sure I can shift the car into gear without the engine running...I'll try to put it in gear with the car off and then start the engine and see if i can get the car moving in a gear...will let you know in the daytime

I agree with what was said about the center of the clutch going bye.
Specailly if it moved today, the broken piece was prolly sitting in there just right to catch.

that's a relief although I believe a tranny rebuild is due cus the shifting is a little knotchy, maybe a new clutch will fix it

If the clutch is having issues the transmission could probably use a going through. Keep us posted when you get it apart. Take pics. Carnage is cool.
