I just got in the car this morning put the car in reverse and backed up out of the driveway with ease. When I went to drive forward, the car did not want to move. I checked the emergency brake and it "seemed" to engage and release with no problems. There seems to be something that is preventing the car from going forward. When I took my foot off the brake, the car didn't move. I had to step on the accelerator to move it. It felt like the I had to push the car to get it to move as opposed to letting in roll. Why would it go in reverse easily, but not forward though?
I just got off the phone with my mechanic and he feels like the transmission is gone. He hasn't seen the car yet though. He is going to come to my house after work today and check it out.
