HELP!

We have a 2000 XC V70 4 WHEEL DRIVE wagon.

Symptoms: When started up put in drive and a loud clunking sound happens, is repetitive.

Garage Diagnosis: When up on lift, inspected underside, determined it was a transmission problem, specifically an ANGLE DRIVE/GEAR PROBLEM. Cost to repair w/re-built part(s): from $2000 to $4000.

IMPORTANT: 1 year ago, car was hit hard from behind at a stop light. Autobody repair done but we always were worried about the frame and innards. Doors wouldn't shut accurately and other problems.

IMPORTANT: COULD THE HIT LAST YEAR HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS ANGLE GEAR PROBLEM? If so, we'd need to contact our insurance company. With only around 110 miles on car, we're very surprised this part went so soon. We had the timing belt changed (advised to do so at 100 miles) last June.

ANY ADVISE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. WE LIVE SOUTH OF BOSTON, MA Thanks. Jim
