Hello new to the Amc eagles
« on: August 18, 2019, 10:59:25 PM »
 Hello I am new to the amc eagles, I just purchased a 1981 amc eagle 4 door sedan for a reasonable price it runs but  doesn’t move. The previous owner said he hit a mud hole and it would no longer move, he thinks it was a cv axel but I don’t think so. Transmission was replaced. Any tips would be greatly appreciated in solving this issue.

Do a search for "false neutral".  It may not be your problem but it's a place to start.
