I'm noob in cars, may I ask what happened? Or what caused your axel and transmission to go? Does it have anything to do with a bad CV joint?

I would say it has more to do with me wheel hopping the bejesus out of it and dropping the clutch all the time. biggrin.gif

ive learned my lesson though.

sadly enough, the boot in one of the drive axle's is cracked, and the other is rusted. So im going to buy a new one.

*cough* 129.99 *cough*

i have to pick it up tomarrow at Autozone. Im depressed...frustrated...but mostly pissed that i was being stupid.
