Sometimes....................some days.......
Yesterday evening I was driving with my Vitesse and suddenly the diff
made a terrifying noise :-( and the gearbox rattled like hell.
I also lost the drive (?) to the wheels.
I could switch gears, and when I let the clutch-pedal come up the engine
turned off. (Same thing what will happen if you forget to release the
hand-brake.)
With the clutch-pedal up in it's free position the car rattles somewhere
at the end of the propeller shaft/gearbox which rattle stops as soon as
I push the clutch-pedal.
I was able to roll the car without blocking or having any noise from the
diff.
When the engine was still warm I could switch gears but since the engine
is cold I can't switch gears anymore.
Does anyone have any experience with this ?
Are the diff and gearbox really dead now ?
And what about the overdrive, is it possible that the OD also died in the
line off fire ??
