Well after many people emailing/PM/Commenting to me that they had this problem, where the car would hardly move, the engine would rev high but the car would hardly move, but the wheels would spin like normal when it is held above the ground. So here is the long awaited tutorial on what to check for, and how to fix it. Remember that you can email me to jt12rchelp@aol.co.uk and add me to your MSN using that address as well. Cheers and stay tuned to http://www.youtube.com/jthornley12 and also http://www.youtube.com/jthornley12how2s
