Transmision Question
 

Ok, I decided to finally run my car at the track tonight. On the way there i hit a pothole while doin about 50mph. The car seemed fine, but pulled a bit to the right after the hit so I figured no biggie, it's just the alignment. I get to the track and after an hour of waiting, I finally get up to the starting line. I launch off the line at 2000rpm and my car takes off......but then it just rolls to a stop a couple of feet from where I started from. So my question is, what did I break?? Also, did hitting that pothole help cause the damage? I dunno if it helps, but the car won't shift into 1st,2nd,3rd,or 4th gear (5-spd) but if i put it into 5th and press the gas, the speedo will show that I am doin a speed (exp. 55mph) and the car will not move.

Probably broke something in the diff, like a spider gear. Don't know why you can't find a gear other than 5th.

Try putting the car up on jackstands and rotate the wheels, first by hand, and then under power, and see what happens.

your problem is the clutch. the same happend to me whit a bad clutch the odometer use move by accelerating .
