Going home from work today and goosed it, then bang. Lost all forward gears. So lucky because I was almost home. Not really sure what's wrong, but I think the clutch went. Oh well maybe its time for a twin disk. Listen when I put into 6th. ![Shiner](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/shiner.gif)

Hate to hear this, Chris. I take it that the engine is fine I hope? I would think this is a clutch too but there maybe a little more to it than that. I will be the first to say call Mr. Groo.

Does the speedo still register when you put it in gear and let the clutch out? Might be able to narrow down where the parts stop spinning that way....
I'll admit I don't know fuckall about the corvette transmission / axle but if the speed sensor is on the output shaft of the tranny, and it's registering speed on your speedo then......

No speedo action, I can put into any gear with the clutch out and just growls, loudest in 6th...
I'm guessing the sound is from the bell, but not sure. I hope the trans is OK so I have a good core trade for an automatic swap. Not many options but a built 4L60 or a glide.

Yeah maybe the trans because it coasted nicely, and it growls the most in 6th gear. I can't believe it let go with street tires on a cold road. After all the 5K rpm dumps on ET street were just fine. ![The Judge](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_judge.gif)
one 6 speed for sale CHEAP!

You're right, rule out the clutch... I went outside for careful listen, and yes the noise is from the rear. Confirmed there is no speedo...
So yeah it's a broken diff output, or maybe trans output. Is there any way to test?
I know a couple vettes around here have busted a diff output shaft. I wonder if the speedo is dead in both cases?

Tome to pop the diff out and have a look Chris ![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)
BTW it was not the street driving that broke it. It was those Hard launches where it was shaking the tires
You know the ones I am talking about. The fracture happened then in the harderning. You just finished tearing through the soft area
