A customer is looking to trade in a 1991 1600cc Toyota Corolla Manual The story goes that a few months back the cluch was slipping quite badly so they bought and fitted a new clutch kit. All good for a day or two then the car just lost all drive. Aparently thge clutch "feels" normaland with the engine stopped the gears seem to move when you use the gear lever. I have no more info but what does that sound like has gone wrong!

sounds a bit like the gearbox is busted now fallen apart on the differential or driveshaft has poped out or broke a cv.

Stuck thrust bearing, splines on clutch plate stripped, the diff drive gear to the drive shafts stripped. Got to be around there some where, sounds like gearbox out again.

Either an inner CV joint has come out the box or the shaft has come out the joint.

Agree with this, have seen it happen at our work before.
Either that or thrust bearing is gone. If they can select gears fine with engine off its nothing to do with the gearbox.

to fit the clutch they had to drop the box, to drop the box they had to remove the shafts I'd be checking that both shafts are engaged in the diff end cv, there is room for them to not engage and still look like they are if it is this, you'll be looking at new shafts, they lathe the ends off something fierce if not engaged properly and it's not uncommon, backyarders find it hard to push the ring back in so discard it, works well for a couple of days until the shaft migrates into the outer joint and starts slipping in the inner

Handbrake hard on, block the wheels and carefully have someone look underneath for a spinning CV stub on one side of the diff with the car in gear clutch out. (someone else in the drivers seat duh)
If you don't see anything spinning then pop the stubs, if they were engaged it's box out. Those cars are dead simple. I can get an engine out of one in 45 minutes and in takes about an hour on a good day :) The gearbox will be a C51 iirc, really common, really really common.

have also seen the slave cylinders seize on these. Foot off the clutch but no drive. Simple job to fix.

this, i expect, i foolhardily left a gearbox alignment dowel out of a Mitsi Mirage many moons ago (all in the interests of showing the other chaps how I could do a clutch in under 20 minutes) felt fine on a road test but lasted until the owner got home and it ripped the centre out of the plate.

if the speedois still working,it's a CV/drive axle fault. ifnot,it's aclutchproblem.
