Got a call that my dads 9000 Aero has lost all drive, sudden failure in a car park, so I had a look at it yesterday
Symptoms, no drive in any gear, no adverse noises or crunches
Tests carried out,
Slave cylinder is actuating on clutch diaphragm OK,
Gear linkage is positively engaging in gearbox, gear lever feels normal
Car in the air, rotate road wheels. Each roadwheel rotates and can be heard to be rotating the diff. However, the opposite roadwheel is not rotating in the opposite direction
Engine running, change gears without using clutch, no crunching noises
Inspection plate removed, no signs of masses of friction material at the bottom of the bell housing
Any suggestions for what this might be, it's as if the input shaft has been broken, can clutch splines just get ripped out ?
