Clunk......NO GEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AD07]

Driving to work today,car felt a bit strange, (sort of not balanced) just got in the driveway to work , changed from 1st to 2nd. Then heard a clunk.
I now cant select any gears & Madza roadside assist is on its way
Warranty runs out in September.
Will keep you posted. Im thinking input shaft.

either that or your gear selector cable snapped...

Clutch still engaging?

Usual failures are shift cable as mentioned, or clutch.
Plenty with crappy gearboxes, but Havnt heard of many broken gearboxes.

I'm thinking maybe selector cable too

The thunk may be it popping off the ball joint

i only say that cause we had someone break theirs on a cruise, lost reverse, 1,3,5

i had a smiliar scare on the last cruise, the gear knob was moving freely to anywhere it pleased, and the car was stuck in neutral... the gear selector cable came off the ball joint, thank god it was just a simple pop back on 10 second fix lol

Thanks for the suggestions guys Gear selector cable is still attached( hasnt come off the ball). I can still select gears & the pedal & gear stick seem to be working fine. Its just when i let the clutch out, theres a wierd grinding noise in any gear & the can wont move.
I think if it was a clutch, the pedal would feel different & i also thoght that if the cable was off i couldnt select a gear .

Will see what Mazda say.............
