in my case. i can get it into each gear, with a solid placement. i hear it going into gear still. when i take my foot off the clutch.. i can rest my foot on the floor, be in gear, and gas it and nothing happens.




Ok, so now that we know a little more, how about this.

Does the speedometer climb when you put it into gear and the clutch is up?





i checked out the car today..and yes. the speedometer does climb. i didnt notice it the other day.




I would suspect axles before tranny first. Your problem sounds exactly like what happened when I snapped my axle.

Triple check to make sure it's not one of the axles first before you pay out the ass for a tranny rebuild.

Just bend down and look under the car while someone puts it in gear and gives it a little gas. If you notice the axle shaft is spinning, but from the CV joint on, not moving, then it would be the axle.

Someone can confirm this though as I'm no expert with this. Just speaking from my experience when it happened to me.
