Mace1647545504 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Letting my grandson post a problem he's having with the car...... I have a 1991 Dodge Stealth ES and yesterday I lost power to the wheels. The clutch engages and it goes into every gear, yet no matter what gear I go into the car vibrates and there is a loud grinding sound with no movement. If there is anyone that could help me that would be great. Thanks, Mace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Sounds like a catastrophic transmission failure to me. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1647545503 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 "91 stealth" problem found! But really ya sounds like a trans issue if assuming you made sure the axles are still intact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Wiggle the two front axles with your hand for starters.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Large Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Wiggle the two front axles with your hand for starters.. base model car with open diff,the above posts about it being a cv shaft are likely correct. that exact problem happened to my VR4 (same car but all wheel drive). front shafts arent very expensive and can easily be swapped in an hour with hand tools.
