Hi there.

Please see video of car running here: YouTube.

Context:


  • I was driving along at ~30kmph in 2nd/3rd gear when I heard a very loud BANG from the engine bay
  • The car revved out and I could not get any power to the ground - changed gears and much of the same, eventually the car wouldn't move and I needed to push it to the side of the road and call a tow truck
  • A few minutes on Google led me to the following scenarios:
    • Clutch is busted
    • CV joints are busted
    • Gearbox is busted

  • I recently had the CV joints replaced (only days ago) - whereas the clutch and gearbox have been solid for years (clutch shows no sign of slipping)
  • Just to re-iterate: I was driving in a very pedestrian manner and certainly not "launching" or trashing the car by any means


If you can spot anything obvious from the video, I would be grateful for any pointers.

James.
