Q: Truck won’t move
Hey there, so my truck has had a problem recently, it’s a 3 speed manual and I’m trying to figure out why it’s running, I can rev the motor and I can shift into all gears, obviously the clutch isn’t out because when I don’t engage it and try and put it into a gear it will grind. But when I shift into any gear and I press the gas the truck barley moves or won’t move at all, but it revs the motor, my question is what can possibly cause this?
My car has a manual transmission.
