ight, i was driving my car and going about 20-30 mph and took a turn and went up a hill and my foot just hit the floor on the accelerator and i wasn't going anywhere! So i put the car in park and turned it off. Then i started it and it started fine, but when ever i put it in any gear, R,D any, it would just let me press the pedal all the way down and rev but i got nothing? went nowhere! So i pushed it into a parking lot and i am confused on what to do, my dad said to look at the fluid levels for the transmission but i was wondering what happened or what it could be?

Hi there,

If the speedo is not working when you rev it in gear than you may have a problem in the transmission pump or torque converter, you will need to get this checked by a transmission shop. if the speedo is working, a final drive or drive shaft problem will be your concern.
