If theres no clonking or rattling maybe the pinion nut came off (like mine did) and the teeth arent meshing.
I seriously doubt it! |

as paul said, could be drop gears or pinion, if there was no noise when it let go, i'd guess pinion nut has come lose. On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

Nope, can't suggest a better one. We have broken 1 in 4 years with big slicks and driven very hard, so not too dissapointed. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk
