got a problam on one of my novas hoping someone can help

the car will not drive, but i can still select all gears with gear stick, drive shafts are fine had them both off and checked!
but when selected 1,2,3,4,5th the wheel will spin freely, but the other side doesnt move! but when its in reverse it works fine u can feel the tention and the oposit wheel rotates! the clutch feels asif its still there but when go to drive the car just revs!


any ideas would be great

Cheers

will it move, roll along the floor if you push it?

When you say the opposite wheel rotates, do you mean they both do? As you say it works fine, for a minute I was thinking you get the same problem on the opposite side?

yeh when in reverse both wheels move, and it does role freely in 1,2,3,4,5th gear! its only reversethat works! rest of the time if cars jacked up and in any forward gear only the wheel ur turning spins!

drive shafts are both in propley!

mills & nobbyz let me kno if you fix your problam might be same thing
