BrOkE TrAnSaXlE!
YIKES! I noticed about 2 days ago a faint whirring noise coming from about the firewall. It got louder (still not too loud tho)...until this AM on the way to work...BROKE...THUD...THUD...THUD... It clunks about every three feet or so! Towed to my excellent mechanic, Kevin. He just called to tell me:
The REAR DRIVE FROM THE TRANSAXLE IS INOPERABLE...APPARENTLY THE SHAFT INSIDE THE TRANSAXLE THAT DRIVES THE REAR WHEELS BROKE (WITH BROKEN ENDS CLUNKING ON EACH OTHER)......It's important to state my Transaxle has been functioning fine otherwise. So, Kevin thinks that maybe just that rear drive axle broke...and the rest of the tranny is good? (1) HELP! (2) Can that part be fixed? Is this a "common" failure? (3) How much for a repair/rebuild Transaxle if indicated? (4) How much for a guaranteed used/rebuild Transaxle if indicated? (5) PLEASE GIVE ANY INFO YOU HAVE ASAP...I WILL HAVE TO DECIDE SHORTLY WHETHER TO REPAIR (REAR AXLE ONLY) THE TRANSAXLE... OR TO REBUILD THE TRANSAXLE....OR TO INSTALL A REBUILT TRANSAXLE.......OR TRASH (  ) my SVX...???THANKS for any HELP!  Jim (559) 240-4612 P.S. My mechanic Kevin (Arcane Auto) may contact the site for the same reason.
