CV Joints bad?

Hello Wayne:

I finally completed this project and I now have a whine coming on when I am in the fifth gear. Also the ABS indicator came on and it appears that the rear right wheel does not rotate under acceleration it seems like its stuck, but will rotate when I give it a push. I used a Mechanics stethoscope and cant hear any noise coming from inside the transmission...

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Also, I must add the following. i rear right CV boot is torn ii Rear Left CV joint is probably bad as I can hear a clunk. iii I also hear loud clicking noise when going from reverse to Park.

Car is a boxster S 2001

Yes, I think you have answered your own question here - it sounds like the CV joints may be bad. They tend to wear out very quickly when the boot tears. Either that, or the differential carrier bearings in the transmission, but those are more unlikely to be the problem.
