So after the long process of changing the rear wheel bearing. I finally had the car back on the road. I had driven ~40 miles. On Thanksgiving I load it up and head down to NYC for dinner. Around 10 miles from home I start going up a hill and find that the the engine is rev'ing but I'm not accelerating. I glide to the side of the road and park. Placing the car in first and letting out the clutch I hear no unusual noises. I get out and look under the rear of the car. The right output from the differential is spinning (cup of the CV joint) but the shaft (connected to the cup) is not.
Car is being towed home as I write this. I'll see if it needs a new axle shaft. Are the shafts the same for the Manual Transmission cars as the Automatics? (first generation of course).
