OK after taking all day to change all the fluids, sparkplugs, and wash it. IT BREAKS on the way to the local cruz.:mad:

Well it only kinda broke, It still moves, shifts and goes into gears just dont go.
Ive cheaked the rear end,(front wheels on ground, car not in gear) both wheels moved opposite directions, I also turned the driveshaft and notices that it spins, (not freely)
but with some force. while the car is IN gear the driveshaft wont spin.
I also cheaked for any broken axels and all seams fine.

My symptoms:
Inconsistant rattle from the trans area seems to be around the bell housing
it only happens at idle goes away when reved up.
Seems like it has a broken drive shaft and isnt sending power to all wheels.
it moves but takes high RPMs to go and just doesnt pick up speed.
there was no warning opon failure.
i was driving fine 35mph, got to the stoplight waited to go and then Problems!
bump


:note: I just put the tranny in a few weeks before the failure, I did Re use the clutch and pressure plate,
it had moderate wear. with this do you think a clutch would parcialy fail?
At this i was fed up so its sat for long enough for the tires to go flat! Now im ready to fix it!
 
OK got the car running after six weeks of sitting......
I drove down the block and everything seemed fine, after i turned and drove back
problem came back. Basicly i figured out that its just gotta be a bad clutch/pressureplate or
a broken flywheel. My conclusion is that the clutch is good till its warmed up and then procceded to slip. My only problem is that I cant smell the clutch if it is smoked u can tell,
can the pressure plate cause this problem but still allow the car to shift correctly?
