Hi guys, today Murphy had a party with my '73 SB. Maybe you can help me
First, it was a broken brake line, all the fluid of the front wheels and most of the rear was lost. So, I had no brakes. I decided to continue driving home really carefully, downshifting everytime I had to stop on a red light. just 100 meters from my house, while turning a corner in 2nd gear, I heard a horrible grinding noise coming from the rear axle. I stoped and tried shifting into 1st and continue, but everytime I depressed the gas, there was the grinding noise and no motion. Also tried shifting while having the car off and starting with the clutch pedal depressed, but no luck. So, I just pushed the car the remaining 300 feet and went home. Already looked on the Muir book, the official service manual and the Hayes repair manual for clues and not a word about problems like this one.
So, my last resort is talk to the experts (you), and see if I can fix this or should a change the whole transmission/transaxle.
Thanks for your help, I know you can help me out.
