Your car not starting isn't your clutch. Sounds more like a piston sized to me. Even if your clutch/tranny went bad, your car would still turn over and start, you just wouldn't move very far.

gooutside and check your oil for us real quick then come back if your clutch gave out there are still ways to make it move and your engine WILL start with a blown clutch

Does your car start? Explain to me what happens when you turn the key.

The flywheel has nothing to do with it either. It could be your starter however. Are you throwing a CEL?

I think something may have happened to that flywheel.. maybe shattered, cracked, fell off? Anything related to engine AND tranny issues all at once could be the flywheel. Unless 2 separate things broke at once..

I have experienced this before in my shop. It was on an automatic car but i've seen this happen on a manual car too. What could have happened is, the starter is turning the flywheel, but the flywheel could have broken off of the crankshaft. When this happens, your flywheel will turn from the starter, but the motor itself will not turn. To know for sure, you have to take your tranny off and look to see what happened. Good luck bro.

Car was running all untill he tried to take off. Once he took off, the engine just started to rev up and car didn't wanna move. Seems like the clutch wasn't grabbing to anything (what was left of it since it was bad) and now after all that, the car doesnt start? He tries to start but only hears the starter spinning freely not engaged to anything.. You don't think the flywheel took a ****? I certainly do.

crappy/faulty flywheel... You never know.. you may have an aftermarket cheap aluminum flywheel that has broken/shattered... Once you take off tranny, you most certainly see that flywheel loose or unattached.. It'd be crazy if the center piece of the flywheel that bolts to the crank broke off but that's what I'm guessing happened.. Maybe only 2 bolts were used to attatch the flywheel and they broke off? So many different but similar things could have happened.. but I'm pretty sure it's all to do within that middle area of the flywheel. I want to know what the outcome is.. Take and post pics when you take it apart!
