I'm an engineer man, it just comes with the territory

Plus, we both pulled up pricing on our stuff before ordering and just merged them to compare.

 

Good lord it gets worse! Slithering with nerds, this place

I came to see what OP may have found.

 

What the hell...? This car needed to be inspected on a lift / jackstands....You don't just start buying parts for it when it was functioning properly, bottomed it out, and then start having issues....A clutch doesn't just fail out of nowhere, and typically when they are catastrophic failures you'll have plenty of noise and other evidence to support that....

Smfh.

 

to clarify, I scored the clutch and flywheel for really cheap so was planning on keeping it for later down the track when I need to change the clutch out (am kinda collecting parts for the car as I plan to keep this car for life)

Car will be towed to a shop next week. Haven’t had a chance to look further at it thus due to life and bad weather (car is street parked)

fingers crossed it’s an easy / cheap fix!

 

Keep us posted. And good luck!

 

ended up being the LHS driveshaft that was broken

now being in Australia, no idea where to source one. So the hunt begins

 

or even know what it is ?

 

Look for a good used one on eBay. I don't think any good aftermarket "OE replacements" exist.

 

haha clarified with the mechanic ended up being driveshaft which makes more sense

 

It's a driveshaft for left-handed people.
