So I let off, and try to put it back into first. It's in gear, I rev up, and it seems like gears are spinning, but the car is only inching forward. I put it in 2nd, and same thing, gears spinning, engine revving, but only moving faster very slowly.


Does this mean you put it into 2nd while your car is stopped or nearly stopped and had the clutch fully released and the engine didn't stall? Or were you moving enough already that the engine didn't stall when you put it into 2nd?
