Q: Car wont move
I was driving my car at about 55 mph. I shifted into neutral to slow down and make a turn. As soon as i put it into neutral the speedometer went straight to zero. I shifted into second after i slowed down and it did nothing. The clutch is still tight. There were no loud noises. No fluid leaking. Shifter linkeage looked good. The car runs and shifts gears like always just wont budge. The only thing that happens is the speedometer and rpms go up.
My car has 236000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
