Best Answer

You push the accelerator with the car in drive and the engine revs up, but it won't go. This may be accompanied by a vibration or acrid smell.


Also, when you put the car into drive, if its really slipping badly the car will not pull its self like it should. Or when you go into reverse your car trys to pause, or lock up.
