Q: I drive a 2006 Saab SUV 93 I was on freeway and notice my speed drop and when I tried to push down on gas pedal it would rev loud

asked by on July 25, 2017

It stopped giving me speed on the freeway. I noticed the speed drop and when I pushed down on the gas it reved but gave no acceleration. I pulled it off to the side. I stopped and turned it off and tried to start it to see if would drive. It again only revved but no movement.

My car has 155000 miles.
My car's transmission is unknown to me.
