I was driving down the road just fine and i step on the gas and all the car does is rev the engine. I get to a stop sign and step on the gas and all the car does is rev the engine. I also tried to put it in First gear and reverse and it's the same. The car starts up fine, everything works fine except the car doesn't want to move.

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

What you have to do first is find out if there is any pump pressure, as the torque converter or oil pump may have failed, this should be done by a transmission specialist, as long as the transmission is actually selecting gears, ans there is oil in the trans, any further tests will require specialist equipment.
