Stenwood Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 today I moved my loyale at work, and the front wheel drive gave out. no matter what gear i'm in, it sounds like grinding and slipping and there is no movement. I can put it in 4wd and it will at least go. The scary part is that i need to drive it home tonight. which is a 35 mile drive from kirkland to maple valley washington. I just really hope it doesn't completely give up to there. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is it going to completely die on me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Sounds like a hub or cvj stripped out. Others on the forum have actually experienced this. And have driven at least short distances on the rear drive half of the 4wd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 If you have a second person you can check to see if the axel nut is turning, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 That's most likely not your transmission. Its the axle or the hub and tal relatively easily fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Have a friend put it I. fwd in 1st gear and let the clutch out. Take a look as the axle nuts on both front wheels.. Bet one of them is spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
