[QUOTE="bobbytkrq21, post: 1446242, member: 578136"] Several weeks ago, my car slipped on ice and crashed into a thick brick curb and by the looks of it, my axle is broken (it's hanging) and when I finally got my car towed, when it was lifted in the air, the axle was visibly hanging low. My concern is whether or not a broken axle involves my car's transmission line. I'm able to put the car in all it's gears (reverse, neutral, drive...1 and 2) but the car won't budge. I've read an article online of a person who encountered the same problem as me, and the answer was something like if the axledrive is broken, the transmission will not work. And with a lot of older cars, they are like a closed circuit and if one part is not functioning, the rest of the car will not run. If possible, I'd like a knowledgeable answer as to whether I can just replace the axle and the car will function to some extent. ha ha. Thanks all [/QUOTE]
