i have a 92 eagle talon AWD. alright so i launched my car from about 5k maybe 6k rpm and i dont know if it popped out of first or if i wasnt expecting it to pull that hard and pulled it out anyway. well now the car almost seems like the clutch is slipping it doesnt snap when i let the clutch out and it doesnt feel like it full engages and it looks like tranny fluid is leaking out of the tranny. not exactly sure were. the slave moves when i push in the clutch even though the pedal feels weeker now. just had an act 2600 and chromolly ebay flighwheel put in. when i spin the tires while it is jacked up in the air the otherside doesnt spin and it spins REALLY free. like the front of a RWD car. when i spin the tire while its in air if forces more fluid out. what could be wrong?
 
is it possible i just spun the the splines off the end of the cv? it looks like it leaks from where the cv joint goes in. kinda hard to tell.
 
yep called lucas english today and mark at mph specialties and they both said the same thing =/ lucas said maybe the cv could have popped out and rounded off the splines but he is doubtful. time for a new tranny i guess...
 
Get under the car and double check the front axles, and make sure they are both in the transmission all the way. I launched my car real hard a while back and popped by passenger axle out of the transmission and it felt like what you were describing, like the car wouldnt go anywhere as if the clutch is slipping.
 
ya found the problem i snapped the axle in 2 pieces right after the splines....better than a tranny problem.
