Default car goes into gear but doesn't move...
just did a clutch, new slave cylinder, pedal feels normal.. when i put the tranny into any gear, it goes in fine, i release the clutch and the car doesn't move. the rpms rise, i guess the clutch is just sitting there slipping... don't think i fked anything up, suggestions?

Check all your driveshafts.... If one is spinning, you'll go nowhere...

Default ya i heard that too.. got late, those r on the list to check tmw after work
makes sense to me, i bolted them all up, but ill double check everything.. maybe the axle bolts(at the hub) aren't tight enough, thx for the advice

Yeah, something's letting a drive axle spin free, and you lose all drive; BTDT

Did you put the TO bearing in? Did you bolt on the drive shaft?
