Hi there,

Just check that you have not knocked the transfer into neutral with out knowing, if that is ok, see if the tail shaft is turning when in gear and is the speedo working when in gear?

Hi there,

The drive has been lost between the engine & the transmission, either the clutch has shattered or the input shaft in the gearbox has snapped, regardless the transmission must be removed to inspect this further.
