| Description of the problem | My xterra won't move when in gear, drive. I was coming out of my driveway and pulled out into traffic slowly, when i went to accelerate to pull in front of other cars coming my way the xterra just stopped accelerating. The engine reved up high but the car would not move. Cars almost ran into me as i had to move to the shoulder with this dead car. I put the car in park and then drive again, stepped on the gas and the engine reved but did not move. I put the car in lower gear and then drive and was able to limp on back home very slowly with the engine reving high. I got in my garage, checked the tranny fluid and it was rusty looking with shards of metal in it, it almost was like scrapes of metal in it. The car is stuck in my garage and won't go anywhere but backwards. |
