Wierd Car Problem
#1
For the last couple days bigturbo74 and I have been helping one of our friends put some new rims/tires and struts on his car. We finally finished it today and now the car ascts like its in nuetral all the time. The clutch mechanics work. The car when revved up will not not shift and will grind with the clutch out and the speedo reads as if the car is moving. Therefore i have concluded it is not a clutch problem. We didn't touch anything but the struts/brakes/rims. What the hell???? Its a 91 celica....

maybe you didnt push the cv shaft all the way into the hubs.

but wouldn't you seriously hear the **** spinning? we are thinking it is the tranny cuz when the car is running and in gear with the clutch engaged the car still runs. Also when it is parked on an incline and in gear without ebrake it still rolls down the hill.....therefore it isn't the cv joints
it is just really weird because there wasn't any evidence of anything breaking while it was up on stands or previously while driving it....
