Great. That's good to know. After reading some of these posts, I was thinking that I may need to get one also.

 

By the way, I hear that it's coming down pretty good near Rockford.

 

Wat up fellas kinda new love the cars some of mine when I fix it lol by the way any1 think they can help me out with my prob I think its my axle but I'm not sure I have a 96 a4 2.8q and I can't move the car when I put it in gear it just winds I was drivin fine heard a thump noise from the front of the car and then I was un able 2 move please help me out thanx

 

Sounds like you blew somthing in the drive train, but it could be a few things. Have you looked under the car while having someone put it in drive to see if the axles even move? (obviously you want to look from the side of the car )Place this into the A4 section if you have not already, that will get you alot of help.

 

Thanx yea I posted it in there didn't get much feed back couple pple sayin axles 1 sed tranny and u just sed drivetrain I havnt had ne1 that knows what they are doincheck it for me I just hope its not the trans if you know any1 that can help me out that would be great

 

Is this a manual or auto?

Where you playing when that happened? If its not moving at all I would say your trans is shot because the rear should still push you, since you are quattro. BUT that's just a guess and im no expert on how that works. I could see if I can find this guys number my friend referred me to if I ever wanted trans work done. He used to bea pro mechanic on a race team and is excellent with trans work. (a bit pricey though)

 

ok, Im all in now. Not only a bimmer forum guru, now I need to get involved in my other cars group. Hey all!

Thanx man its manual I was just cruising around when it happened. I had my buddy push me n his car 2 get it home so it moves its just when I put it in the gear sit won't move the speedometer goes up when I'm doing that so I dunno most ppl are saying its my axle I hope it is let me know if u know nehting else

 

You really need to get that car off the ground and inspect. If the axle snapped it wont spin when trying to drive but same goes for a blown trans. However if the trans is shot I dont think you would be able to get it in gear and you would feel that something is deff. wrong with the way it feels.

Another situation is the transfer case has gone by by, leaving you sitting dead in the water. What is the condition of your tires? Have you replaced any?
