I went to start my car and everything was fine but when I put it in drive it started going for a bit and then just stopped. All my fluids been changed recently. All it does is just revs up and everyonce in a while it will start moving g again but then it just stops. I can't go in drive or reverse it just won't move but my rpms go up. How do I fix this problem.
My car has an automatic transmission.
