i need help

i have a 97 plymouth breeze... it makes a weird clunking noise while driving..
when i go faster the noise gets faster and louder... when i turn to the
right the noise slightly goes away and when i go to the left the noise gets
slightly louder... once while driving the transmission gave out (i stepped on
the accelerator and the engine reved but the car would not move) i left the
car overnight and the next day the car moved again. i need to know what is
wrong with my car !!! also when i start my car the odometer and the rpm gauge
do not come on but after a while the both turn on at the same time. is this
related?

the problem is, it's a Plymouth- get rid of it, and buy a GM product

Sounds to me like a tired or wheel or possibly driveshaft problem.
Have you even bothered to look at the tread and sidewalls of your
tires, or the CV joint boots underneath in front?

Transmissions just don't "give out," unless they're helped to fail by
bad maintenance, or lack of any altogether. Did you check the fluid
level/color?

No, and what's happening is that it's probably trying to give you
trouble codes for all the stuff that's screwed up with it.

Typical comment form a "megatroll" like Charlie Nudo, aka

>No the tires are fine, but i don't know how to check the CV joint boots underneath the front. Do you think that both the CV joints are bad? Or just one?

>Well, after the transmission "gave out" I added transmission fluid and it started to move again, and the fluid was brown.
