There was a roaring noise that sounded like it was coming from the transmission. This went on for a long period of time because I didnt know what was causing it. The roaring would stop when I would press in the clutch and it would not roar in fourth gear. I have changed the release bearing, the input shaft bearing and the problem is still there. Then one day I was driving down the road at a low rate of speed and the wheels locked up and that has me scratching my head. Someone told me that the cv joint could have went bad in it. Is this a possibility? Please help me if you can.

Has the car been in an accident? You may have to replace the upper ball joints as well. And you will have to get an alignment after that. I would get the tire set correctly before I started changing bearings. Of course it may be that the bearing is so bad that that is what is causing the wheel to lean so badly?
With the car jacked up, can you move the wheel laterally - it should be very tight.

you have to use a pry bar inbetween the gearbox and the cv shaft end.they have a retainer spring in the end to keep it in tight.when installing the new one,it may have to be hit with a 2 lb hammer to seat it in place.cover the end of the shaft that goes to the hub,with a piece of wood so it does not damage the splines.it is critical that the seal on the transmission is clean and all the splines.

I certainly would take it back to the shop that performed the brake job and have them investigate. If it was not making the noise prior to the repair there is a good chance the noise is involved with the brakes. A possible loose brake pad, a sticking caliper(caliper pins may need to be lubed) or any number of things could be wrong.
