No, the CVs are fine. It must be something inside the transmission. Zoltan

Usually all the bolts back out on one CV joint until the last 1 or 2 snap off. Look closely at the side flanges of the tranny when it is in gear and engine running but won't go. If either side flange is rotating then the problem is with an axle on that side. Mark HotelWestfalia wrote: > As I was driving my ‘85 A/T camper, suddenly it stopped pulling in any > gear.
