when in drive front drive line spins but not the rear same with reverse.

You have broken either your front diff or cv joint. How mechanical are you.
Might want to send me your number and I'll call and walk you thru what to do.

i can do almost anything just dont know much about trannys. its at a friends at the moment 50 miles away but im triing to figure out what to look for first.ive been out of work for the past 3 years so doing the work myself is my only option 503-875-8116

When you can, crawl under it and turn the front drive shaft by hand. If you broke an axle or CV then the front shaft should spin by hand.

What are we voting on?

[tony41-2003disco]

im going to check the things you have suggested in the morning i might call you disco mike for addvice and a plan of attact thanks again for all the help

Star your engine, put it in gear and watch both drive shafts to see which one is spinning. If you find one then you have a front or rear diff issue and yes, lets talk.
