Perhaps she's not a goner after all..

The lad has another thread where he chronicles the events that led up to this problem. He was driving along, the car seemed to be laboring, he heard a screech and them poof, the car would not move. I agree that if the car is jacked up and the driveshaft spins at all then it is probably in the rearend. However, the screeching noise to me indicates that the trans let go, or the converter. Maybe the bolts sheered off the converter, who knows?? I agree with the gang, more info and checking around on your part will eliminate a bunch of possibilities, and pictures would help also. In your other thread you mention that the front yoke was out of the tailshaft by about 4"....was it always like that?? Did you just notice this or has something changed. IMO, there is nothing wrong in the driveshaft dept. other than it should be in the tailshaft farther, but if it is no different than it ever was then eliminate that as a possible problem, there is no way it could come out of the tailshaft.
