Default Problem with getting into gear/moving..

Okay, So I haven't driven my car for about a week or two, and I get in and let it warm up for a few minutes then put it into gear and leave my driveway.

As I go to put it into second gear it pops out of first and into neutral.

So I push down clutch and put into second gear and it just revs out.

SO I try another gear, nothing, reverse, nothing.

So basically I can put the car into gear, I think. But it doesn't move.

Also while I was pushing my car back into my driveway I noticed a really thin line of fluid coming from under the car and on the ground.


Now I'm thinking it's the slave cylinder in front of the tranny, is this plausible, or what could be the issue?

Thanks.

Edit: Car is a 94 civic EX and also it's 0 degrees here right now if that matters.

you wouldnt have been able to get into first if your clutch wasnt disengaging (cause of low fluid )???

check tranny fluid level and clutch fluid level

Well yeah, I'm pretty sure I lost fluid due to the fact that I seen a small line on the ground from the spot I stopped the car all the way back to the driveway where I pushed it, Could the slave cylinder be where it was leaking from? But I dont think that would explain why it just revs out.

And as for tranny fluid, how would that prevent it from moving, it would just be REALLY hard to get into gear/be grinding all over the place right?

More suggestions are appreciated

Figured out the problem, It wasn't the slave cylinder, but it was the passenger side axle that had came about half way out of the tranny, and now I can't get it all the way back in.

Any tips on getting the axle back in the tranny/what needs to be done to do this?

U should b able to push it back in with some force, usually doesn't take much tho. If u absolutly can't get it back in then u need to take it out and do some further inspection.
