Ok i have a nissan primastar van, which anyone paying attention will realise is an absolute pain in the arse,as im posting up issues all the time.

Anyway, it wa leaking oil from the crankshaft oil seal and i had it repaired had i back a few days when suddenly i was pulling up on my drive and the van lost all drive(like it was in neutral) even though it was in gear.

It feels like it is going into gear but doesent move, no funny noises vibration or anything. Could the clutch be knackered enen though it is a new one and as said was all removed when the mechanic did the crankshaft oil seal.

Help much appreciated, id like some advice before i go shouting the odds at my mechanic about dodgy work etc.

does the pedal feel right or does it go straight to the floor and struggles to return??

mad dog younge

it could be a number of things,ie clutch .drive shaft ..or worst still you diff is fooked

shane

I know it could be many things, Gearbox was working fine before any work was done also, he did have to replace a driveshaft seal that was leaking if that counts?

shane

I dont remember it doing that, i think the pedal was working as normal.

like they say anything could go any time.

ah i bet ya drive shaft has popped out fella!

shane

I dint think this would cause me to lose drive. I had only picked it up the day before after him fixing the drive shaft seal, is it an easy fix?

if ya shaft has popped out you will loose all drive,as long as the shaft aint damaged its not to bad job

shane

Thanks alot for your help, im hoping this is all it is. Il ring my mechanic tomorrow.

How could i fix it if he cant do it in time? Is it simply a case of pushing it back in? or do i need t line it up with sun bearings etc? I was gonna fix the leak myself but my drive is on a slant so cant realy work on cars on it. The first time ive used a mechanic in years.
