Is anything stuck in the transmission? Wheels too tight?

ehroof

can you roll it foreward or backwards by hand? is it any different with the brake applied and with full thottle? do this with the car not running put the power on.

Jack Burks

ehroof, there is very little difference. With full throttle the front wheels can be spun but there is a lot of resistance and I don't want to further damage it.With brake it won't budge at all

you might have the mesh on your gears set way to tight.

ehroof

i agree, sounds like the mesh of the gears is too tight, i would suggest to take the engine out and see if its better or just loosen the engine using the 4 screws on the bottom and slide the engine away and see if its better, if so, re set the mesh a little looser.

Or the little lever that controls the brakes could be adjusted to much, unscrew the black adjuster thats connected to the tranny.
