My Cad was running great and then it made a strange noise and stop moving. It would not go into gear without making a noise and it sounds like a broken band was spinning around. Any ideas?

I would say you need to make an appointment with a good independent transmission shop and not any chain shops like AMACO.

Sounds like a driveshaft flex joint broke, inspect the driveshaft.
