I'm not new to the car game but I am new to the DSM's. I just bought my first DSM, a 91' Laser RS turbo, and i've already done quite a few mods to the car and have never driven it that hard because the track is closed for the season. So i'm driving along today, stop at a stop sign, go to pull out and I hear the most god awful grinding noise i've ever heard and the car wont move in gear. I tried putting it in every gear even reverse and when I let off of the clutch pedal nothing happened except that grinding noise again, so I get out and tranny fluid is EVERYWHERE! I finally get it towed home and look and I cant see that the case is cracked anywhere and the clutch master cylinder is full of brake fluid and the slave cylinder is working fine. Anyone have any ideas as to what the hell is going on!?!?

Seems like the transmission is shot. What kind of transmission is it? FWD or AWD? Manual or automatic?

the guy i got my car from had been slaming 2nd all day long when it blew a holw out the side of the transmission and i got it off of him cheap and looked under it and saw a hole about the size of a quarter so i got some jb weld and patch it all up and its been holdind for about a 1year and had no problems

I'm betting its the trans.It's not your clutch if your not smelling clutch burning when its grinding.I know I've seen this problem before first hand car goes in gear but don't move.Just makes a spinning noise like to metal plates kinda grinding together right??.If so its a bad trans.

If you didn't live so far away I'd rebuild yours for you. I rebuilt mine runs great. Anyhow it could be the differential. When that goes up it makes a crack that's hard to spot.

We can't diagnose what we can't see, and seeing it doesn't always help. But next time:
