Thank you for the Birthday wish!!! Well yesterday i was driving then all of a sudden the damn driver side tire area sounded like there was a spoon stuck in a garbage disposal. Then would not go into gear. Its not the tranny though! BUt i am not sure what it is!!:frown:

If the trans won't shift into first, how do you know it isn't the tranny? Did something happen to a brake pad?

Because there was no signs of the tranny going out, I also know that when i would go around a corner it sounded like the steering wheel was ticking so i just am praying it is the axle!!:frown:

The ticking very likely may be from the axle. The axle can't cause the transmission not to go into gear.

What makes you think it's axle problem? you know if the axle boot is Torn? Is it possible it's a wheel bearing? Is it a clicking noise or a groaning noise? Maybe it's the Brakes. It could be allot of things , please try to be as descriptive as you can ,of what the car is doing . Is it when braking, Turning , Just regular driving. Does it get louder as you drive faster? All those thing are important to know so we can help you.

A torn boot will sound like a damn rattle on when you turn, Sometimes it will sound like the wheel is about to fly off. But not when your driving straight, is that roght?
