Default Need help

so i was driving home and my car left me

when put the car in drive the car makes a loud grinding noise and does not run and the spedometer is like in 10-15 mph

i can go in reverse but it makes a loud thump noise every foot it moves,

know my question is do you guys think its the rear-end or the transmission

thanks

the reason is because i have warranty on the tranny but the place is like 2 hours from my house, and if the problem was the rear-end then i'd just rather fix it somewhere nearby

thanks again

i need to fix this by the end of this weekend

by the way i did have an issue with rear end it was making a loud whining noise for the past month and told it could have been pinion bearing or carrier bearing

maybe the bearings fell off?

check the fluid level. then get under the car and check the driveshaft and rearend. sounds like your clutches are fried in the tranny. take it to g-force and see if they can work with you on warranty terms.

i would have someone lay on their belly next to the rear wheels and see if the sound is coming from the middle or rear of the car

just finished my rear end, it turned out good, took me about 7 hours total,
now i found out my tranny crapped out on me aswell.

the car runs in reverse fine, but when i put it in D the car makes a loud whining noise,from the transmission, and speedometer runs at about 10-12 mph

any ideas what it can be?

and maybe price to fix that problem?

the reason is that i have warranty on the trans but the place is like 70 miles from my house and i would have to pay to get it towed there ~$200

maybe if its a small problem i can just get the work done in a transmission shop nearby

what do you guys think i shoul do?

thanks for all the help

Like Joe already said it sounds like the clutches are fried in the trans itself.
