Transmission slip wont move

Automatic, or Standard? Last time transmission serviced? If auto, check fluid, if smells burnt, get serviced. However,it sounds like a problem in the linkage/s from the shift lever to the transmission and 4wheel controls.

what is a wet clutch?,. the A/T torque converter
the inside transmission wet, clutch packs
or the stick shifting master cylinder and slave
why not post year, swift, and what system you are working.
eg: my car wont move, got that.
my RPM tachometer races fast, but car wont go (called slip)
or my clutch pedal seems dead.
or my A/T CAR., transmission is no working right, say what?

we cant guess any of that.
just say whats up, fully, please.

Make sure that your axles aren't broken. If you have a broken axle the power would transfer to the wheel with the least amount of resistance (to the broken axle) therefore not propelling the vehicle. Also look at your fluid level and condition. It is possible that the transmission is slipping in which case you'd need a transmission/rebuild.

what engine/ there are many.
since you dont know, i must guess.
here goes, in generic form
1: is it the engine power lost or transmission failure
if you dont know, ask any mech to tell you, in 1second flat.
2:lost engine power (guess2)
a: lost electical power 12vdc to critical EFI parts.
b: lost compresson.
c: lost or weak spark no bad timing spark.
d: bad fueling.

that list works for all modern cars. if tranny is a M/T say so. now.

if its jatco box check power and grounds to the transmission control module locate lh a post check for dtcs logged fluid loss and last but not least has a drive shaft popped out of mesh very poor gearbox allways giving problems

Hi Don, have you checked the gear box oil level? Regards John

transmishion plate on stick ie manual on auto it will be tork converter

check your transmission oil wile the car is on you may kneed a new transmission

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WILL CAUSE CAR NOT TO MOVE IN ANY FORWARD GEARS. SOME TIMES TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP REAL BAD CAUSING EARLY + LATE SHIFTS.MOST TIME YOU WONT HAVE NO REVERSE ALSO.

If your transmission is low on fluid it won't move the vehicle. Sounds like you had just enough fluid to get first gear going.
