Seems to go into gear right, it just doesn't move. The clutch is in good shape. I would like to think I don't necessarily have to get a transmission.

Hi,

Chances are it's not the transmission. If you place it in gear with the engine off and clutch released, are you able to move the vehicle? Also, does the clutch pedal feel normal?

Keep in mind, the clutch is actuated by a cable. Check to make sure nothing is preventing it from releasing. See pic below

Let me know.
