    are the cvs fully home in the diff? and not broken? as with an open diff if you break one or one pops out you will have no drive

    either that or the input shaft has popped put if its the type that can be withdrawn, but i would have thought you would have noticed that when fitting the new clutch

    sounds more and more like a cv joint either busted or more likely not fully home in the box, like i say the inner is more likely, wheels will turn with it jacked up as there is no resistance to stop the diff spinning both wheels

    with it on the floor, put it in gear and have a look at the driveshafts/cvs, you should be able to find it pretty quickly then

    You should be able to see if the shafts are in all the way. Can you lift it up a axel stands, disconnect the linkage, and select a gear on the top of the gearbox, and see if it drives the wheels?

    how do you mean popped off? they are held in with a circlip, if its popping off i suspect the driveshaft is too short, you will tell if the cv is fully home at the gearbox end if you just grab hold of it tbh, i doubt its anything to do with the linkage
