Sorry dude, I'm not part of the spelling/grammar police but couldn't understand your post.

It looks up and off in reverse then doesn't make a noise?

Erm a little better

If a drive shaft came out, there would be no power to that wheel surely as theres 4 driveshafts on a 4wd/awd car, one for each driven wheel.

Wouldn;t have thought reverse would make any difference either. What about the differential in the gearbox or rear differential/prop shaft?

Has your mate had it jacked up at all or had the opportunity to look underneath?

This thread any good to you? Sounds a little similar to something which happened to me 2 years ago.

yes mate but he gets into gears fine tho

barnes_2k7

what chocolate o brian is saying seems about right to me, gearbox seems to be ok, would seem to be a diff, either in the gearbox or rear axle. is it all wheels locking up or just one, or just front or rrear axle?

it locks up then releases and makes a noise but not in reverse

barnes_2k7

sounds like a differential? difficult to diagnose without actually seeing whAT the car is doing

barnes_2k7

what happened to make it do this? have u had any work done? were u giving it a thrashing? etc

my mates old scoob did the same and had no problem selecting gears turned out to be some broken internals so we ended up doing a box swap.
