When turning car stopped driving, was able to coast in gas station. Heard a crunching noise like gears. Turn offed car, then back on, put in drive and it wouldnt go forward or reverse and kept making the crunching noise. Anybody have an idea what it might be? Thanks

My car is a 1996 Infinity I30 and I just found out I broke my front axle.

If it is a front wheel drive, you could have blown a c.v.joint, if it is a rear wheel drive you could have blown a u-joint in the driveshaft. otherwise you have transmission problems.

It sounds as though the front differential inside the transmission has exploded. If I knew the type of vehicle it would be helpful. Your transmission will need to be rebuilt. If your front diff has come apart, it wont be an inexpensive rebuild. (It is cheaper than buying another car though!) Call a transmission repair facility and have the vehicle towed in for a diagnositic. (Most tows and diagnostics are comped with repair) Expect to spend $2600 - $3000 worse case depending on the type of transmission and the labor rates in your area.

Just a guess, but... Perhaps the transmission is broken; could be a shaft, gear or clutch, driveshaft... You need to ask a qualified mechanic to look at it.

Either your transmission is completely trashed, or you broke the driveshaft(s). Is it front wheel drive or rear wheel drive?

Your transmission or differential is gone. Most likely the transmission.
