Default Have i blown my diff up???

Ive only had my mk2 escort about 3 months so am new to understanding the ins and outs about diffs, props and halfshafts. My car goes in all gears but when you let the clutch up nothing happens basically?? the clutch woz fine before a silly burnout and the cable hasnt snapped. the prop isnt hanging on the floor either so its not that!!! thanx if anyone can help. james

You could also have snapped a half shaft.
