Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a jam here. I was taking my 318is for a spin around the block and when leaving a stop light I heard a loud pop and all of a sudden lost all power to the wheels. Rolled car to a gas station and found that it will shift into any gear but will not move, stall, etc. Already ran through a bunch of checks on what the problem is. Makes a weird rattling noise when clutch is pushed in. When clutch is released nothing happens (other than sound going away). You can shift into any gear just fine but car will not move, stall, or anything. The linkage is fine. The clutch assembly, slave, and master cylinders are all fine. I'm left to think it's the clutch or the throw-out bearing. There was never any slipping so I think it might just be the throwout. Basically now i'm stuck with no way to move the car and due to stupid LA laws, even in front of my house, my car is threatened with being towed because I can't move it. -_______-
Important info: car has had a m20 single-mass flywheel swap done by the previous owner.
Anyone have any idea what is wrong with it? and how much, ballpark, I may expect to pay a shop to fix it? I'd like to weigh the option of trailering it to my buddies house or just towing to a local shop.
TIA!!!!!
