recently i had been driving back from seattle WA to Bellingham WA a 90 mile trip. 54ish miles later i noticed it was hard to shift into all of my gears one thru five.

but sense i was on the freeway i just put it in fourth gear and drove on that for about 20 miles. then suddenly fouth gear went out. and when i pressed on the gas in fourth it just reved up like it was in nutral.

what is wrong and what can i do to fix it?

Hi there,

with the problem selecting gears then no drive, i would be thinking that the clutch has failed, get this checked out first.
