I have a 2000 olds silouette, i made a left turn onto side street and heard a loud pop/bang. found the right outboard cv joint broke apart, weird because i didnt have any symptoms that it was goin bad, replaced the axle but now the tranny wont go into any gear, but the speedometer works. tranny worked like a charm before mishap

SOURCE: cv joint replacement

Remove the tire and tighten 2 lugnuts onto the brake rotor. remove the axle nut in center of the brake rotor and drive the axle out of the spindle. If the ball joint is original, you have to grind out the rivets on the lower control arm. Remove and replace the ball joint with the hardware included with the ball joint. Next, pry-unsnap the axle end from the transaxle with a prybay and drive-snap in the new axle shaft into the transaxle. reverse to assemle, align front end and wholla! your done. 1 hour,15 min. $115.00 to do it yourself.

SOURCE: i need to replace the left side drive bearing and axle seal in a 4t60e trnny. can it be done with the tranny still in the car?

the axle seal yes. the drive bearing? are you talking the one inside the trans or the cv joints or the outer wheel bearing the bearings inside the tranny cannot be replaced without pulling the trans out.the others can be.

SOURCE: noise in front end

most of the time clicking noise come from the outer cv joints.

More than likely your rack and pinion has gone bad. If the pump was bad it wouldn't work to either side. But the rack and pinion can go bad on just one side

Testimonial: "How difficult is it to replace it? Would I need to replace both sides or just one? And it sounds as if it whines somewhere on the left side up by the tire. What would that be?"
