Can Shift Gears & Rev the Engine But Car Won’t Move

Mines doing the same exact thing someone jacked it up and they thought the Axel was pulled out of the transmission but the turned the wheel and they said there was ticking in the transmission and they told me I’m gonna need a whole new transmission and really don’t have the money for it so I wanted to do research. Any advice?

Is your car equipped with a manual or an automatic? I can’t tell from your description which one it is? I don’t think you are going to need a new transmission but I need a little more information before I can diagnose the problem. I will say a couple of things, though:

1. It’s not likely that the half-shafts were pulled out of the transmission.
2. Ticking in the transmission could mean that various parts were trying to do their jobs, but failing

If you could be a bit more specific, it would really help!

I am assuming, from your description, that your Buick is equipped with an automatic transmission. Since that’s the case, your transmission has a major internal problem that has forced it into limp-home mode. When that happens, you usually have one forward gear and, maybe, reverse. This is why it will only go into first and reverse. Like as not, the clutches, bands, possibly the torque converter, and gears are shot. I also suspect that your transmission has a major leak somewhere — check along the gasketing on the pan and check any external cooler lines — since the fluid is gone. That said, the burning smell tells me that your transmission is overheating in a big way and burning the organic transmission fluid. By the way, you only put in one quart of tranny fluid. That’s a problem because most automatics take between five and six quarts. Add more fluid and you may have better results.

I was just wondering if somebody could give me a few ideas of what could be wrong with my car before I take it to a garage to be looked at/fixed. I recently bought a used Toyota Camry (01), 5-speed manual. The man who I bought it from has owned the car the last 11 years and put a new clutch in 8 years ago. When purchased, he told me that the only thing wrong with the car was the front brakes needed replaced and the clutch slightly slipped when going uphill. I replaced the front brakes last night. I used the car to go to a doctor appointment and it drove fine the way there, I came out about 90 minutes later and the car wouldn’t move. The car will go into gear when on but will not move. I’ve been trying to research online what it could be and the possible costs so any information is appreciated. Thanks!

ok look I need help my 93 mustang will run but will not drive it is a manual so when I push the clutch in to start the car it will run but I will not put it in gear and let off the clutch the car cuts off!!!
