I have a 1997 outback manual 2.5L DOHC. Recently I was driving and noticed a clunk common to CV joints. It became worse until I was on the HW in cruise control when a wind up noise came from the gear shifter. As soon as I looked down the shifter POPPED up about 1/2in and the car was coasting to a stop. I didnt hear any metal grinding and I reved the RPM before I came to a complete stop to see if there was engine noise (non noticed). The cv joint was broke at the front of the rear drive shaft. I disconnected the drive shaft in the rear hoping to at least move it around by FWD. The car didnt move. I Jacked the front end up and put it in all 5 gears. The tires rotate freely but I can stop them with my hand. It feels as though the gears are not fully engaged. Is there something I am missing? Thanks
