Car won’t move forward, only reverse
Hey guys,
I was driving along the coast and as I slowed to stop at a light, the car jerked and shut off. It fired up again no problem, but something is keeping it from moving forward. I am able to shift it into all 6 gears, but it won't roll forward. If I put it in reverse, it rolls backwards no problem. But if I put it in reverse, roll it backwards, and then put it in neutral, it won't start rolling forward...and I'm on a hill so it should. If I put it in gear and let the clutch out, the nose dives down like it's trying to move but it just boggs and stalls. It's like something is bound up, but it's letting it go in reverse no problem. Any ideas of what the problem could be?
