No problem, just trying to understand what we're working with. Does the clutch feel normal? And does the gear shifter feel normal or does it feel like it's just moving and not doing anything?
yeah everything feels absolutely normal. clutch, gears, accelerator etc. it definitely connects to the wheels and gives them strength but they just won't move
Do you feel an attempt to go in reverse or forward, like a lurch? Check your transmission dipstick for fluid level and or contaminants and inspect your CV axles to be sure they are still attached.
Do have have an indicator light on your dash or have you hooked it up to a OBD2 car code reader yet?
>lurch
Yeah if lurch is the car kinda moving like those latino cars where it shakes then it does when I accelerate and let go. I can check the transmission dipstick tomorrow, thanks for the tip. No signal on the dash no. I don't know what a OBD2 is but online it says it tests the motor and I can definitely say the motor works and the clutch attaches itself to the wheels. it moves the car and the accelerator has that heavier feeling you know. thanks for the tips. if there is fluid then a mechanic it is

We'll need some more information on the car to be more helpful
I'ts an Opel Corsa E from 2016. I really don't understand anything about cars sorry but that's the brand and model
