If you break one driveshaft, the car won`t move an inch because of the spidergears. It will only happen if you have a locked differential. And You have most likely broken one. Chris

I remember the first time I snapped an axle... same symptoms you described. Happened to me in "The Bishop" <http://www.thicko.com/bishop.htm> when I drove it down from Illinois to the Texas Healey R

Hi Robert, A similar thing happened to my son last year while driving my car. The splines on one half shaft had sheared and there was no power to the rear wheels. Replaced both with used parts from

Not unless you have a limited slip differential. I learnt this lesson on the streets of Montreal one icy February. The whell with the least resistance gets the power, so if you have ice under the rea
