I was stuck in the snow and I got out of the car so my friend could try while I pushed and I noticed the wheels weren't turning. Car starts fine, goes into all gears fine, but the tires won't turn. I took it apart and looked at the transmission, clutch and axles, and they all look fine. The axles only have about 3000 miles on them. I have no idea what it could be, please help.

Does it feel like it's going into gear?

What do you mean you had it all apart? You took the transmission off and looked at the clutch?

You could of really burnt out the clutch and it's just slipping, I've seen this a few times after people have gotten stuck in the snow.

Yeah, I pulled off the transmission, looked at it and the clutch and they both look perfect. I burnt the clutch in my truck too, and when I pulled that one off it was completely shredded. You could tell it was worn out really bad. The one in my CRX looks almost new.
