Hi,

Did this happen all at once? Is there any noise when you release the clutch? Does the speedometer move even though the car doesn't?

Do me a favor. The first thing I suggest checking is this. Place the vehicle in gear and see if it moves as if it was in neutral. If it does, inspect the front axle assembly and CV joints.

For some reason, I don't have technical info on this vehicle. I'm not sure if you are in the US or not. However, here is a link that explains how to replace a CV axle. I'm including this so you can see what I'm referring to. Check to make sure nothing is broken, loose, or if something has caused the axle to come out of the transmission.

Also, if you could record what it is doing and upload it for me to see and hear, it may be helpful.

Let me know.
