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

[Malhar95]

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

IDK what format your video is, I cant watch it.

Anyways, the cv axle is in two pieces. Im certain it needs replaced.

You need to specify at the parts store whether you need the driverside or passengerside. The passengerside is longer and has the carrier bearing on it, which you described as a bracket. The driverside is shorter and has a big knob of metal on it, like some kind of counterweight.
