There's not enough info here for me to make any sort of guess.
But if your axle went you'd have heard a clunk
and if your axle did go why didn't you hear it coming and replace it?

well i heard the clucking when i make a tight turn....but i didnt have the money....i was waiting untill i get paid from my new job didnt kno it would go out that fast if that was it....


more info...as i was at a stop light moving off i put the car in 1st gear and was moving off then suddenly i hear a pop and the car jumps out of gear and started reving out..every gear i put it in it just revs out and i can hear somthing loose spinning underneath the car...also i tried to put it in gear without pushing the clutch and it went into gear and didnt shut off or jump or anything...i really dont kno whats going on with it.

I think if the axle went you would definetly be able to tell. Usually before they go you hear a popping sound when you turn the wheel.

Ok you blew the axle.
