98 5s stuck in neutral, Video of exactly what's happening uploaded last page Options

So with this parts car I have, the guy I got it from said The cv axles were bad that messed up the transition
Basically the car is in neutral. Even when we put it in park or drove it acts like its in neutral.


Any suggestions what it could be?

(when I was picking up the car, the driver side cv was being attempted to take out, like it was out of the hub nut not I pulled it a little bit but it didn't slip out, maybe the clip inside it broken, could that result in the car reacting this way?)
Itd a 98 5sfe auto

I had a 5S auto tranny do that once. Here was the problem.



Result of stupidity and neutral bombing. Yours might not be as serious, as an open diff will send power through the path of least resistance. If an axle pops out of place, that's where the power will go. I find it peculiar that even in park, it still rolls. I can see where it could be either issue.
