I had just replaced the clutch, throw-out bearing, and the fly wheel because the car would start but when I would try to shift the car into gear it would not move and I could even let up on the clutch completely without touching the gas and the car would not stall out. After I replace those it has worked for about a week and now the same thing is happening. Also I don't know if this is relevant but when I have the car in gear and press on the gas even though the car does not move the speedometer acts as if it was moving

IF the speedo is working, the transmission (internally) is working. Start by checking to make sure the axles are properly installed and let me know what you find.

That code has to come from a dealer. I don't have them. Sorry...
