Check transmission fluid. There should be a dipstick under the hood only if it's automatic. If it's a standard, there is a lot more to checking fluid. If there is nothing showing on your dipstick add some through the dipstick tube. Never add fluid though while car is running in gear as it will take off on you when fluid reaches transmission. Add a liter, check again, then follow the proper way to check the fluid level. The proper way will be written on the dipstick itself. It may say check hot in park, or check in neutral, but never add it like that if there is nothing showing on the dipstick.Let me know how you make out

I have a 2011 Toyota Camry my battery was dead so I jumped it after I jumped it I started when I put it in gear it goes into gear but there's no throttle at all

check fuses, jump starts can blow them.
then scan the PCM any time throttle Pedal is dead. no RPM rise ,correct?
engine start is park, and the throttle is dead in park\
or in gear Drive, car does not move but RPM rises or not.
will car move in reverse.

yah didn't jump stated the battery will cables jumped backwards right (at any time)
if yes that can be very bad.

Question moved to year model category.

Check the Automatic Transmission level, but you may have solenoids that are failing.

It has known transmission issues.

2001 audi quattro tt manual transmission starts in gear no clutch won't go forward

You have a worn out clutch disc so the transmission still has to come out to change it.

Hi,2002 cavalier now the clutch pedal goes in to start the vehicle and once the pedal is released all the way car barely moves. i thought the slave or master cylinder could be shot

I would think that the clutch itself is shot. If it was the slave cylinder or the master cylinder, you would not be able to get the car into gear when the engine is running. If it goes into gear fine, but just doesn't want to move....it means your clutch is not griping.

Manual transmission, goes in gear, but will not move

Sounds like catastrophic gearbox failure! No magic bullet solution, sorry.... time to visit the transmission ship.

Hard to tell, I dont fully understand what you have written as your problem. i.e. no engine start or the car will not move when the engine is on and you put it in gear and release the clutch
