I have a 2001 Chevy Tahoe that will start but, will not drive or reverse. It makes a loud clunking noise that seems to be coming from under the vehicle toward the middle (or under where the second row of seats are.) Right before this incident, one of the fan belts to the air conditioner broke, and right before that there were problems with the car starting up. It would take a few minutes before it would start up. I put mystery marvel in and I haven't had a problem with it starting anymre. I'm not sure if the problems are connected in any way but, I want to get it all repaired now so I just need to know why it will not move after starting it.
This can be 2 or 3 problems that i can not tell you the exact answer without more information. It could be your drive shaft itself or a U-joint that is broken. It could be the gear box that converts transmission power to the front and rear wheels and/or it could be the transmission/flex plate itself which is BAD but knowing and working on chevy's the transmissions are usually not problematicThis can be 2 or 3 problems that i can not tell you the exact answer without more information.

if it is a 4 wheel drive sounds like your rear axle may have been cooked do to low fluid bad bearing or both check fluid level nad look for any kind of metal specs in fluid .
CK THE U JOINTS ON THE DRIVE SHSFT. YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE SHAFT AND SEE IF THE JOINTS MOVE SMOOTHLY. IF NOT REPLACE THEM. ALSO CK THE CENTER SUPPORT BEARING IF IT HAS ONE. ALSO CK THE TRANS MOUNTAND THE FLUID LEVEL IN THE REAR END. HOPE THIS HELPS BILL
Is it closer to the back of the vehicle or the front?Possibly the fuel pump. Try opening the gas tank and stick your ear close to the intake of the tank while someone turns the key.
how well does reverse work and check color and level of trans fluid with engine running and warm also feel for grittyness of fluid if gritty and browning your trans may be going out
the linkage could have come undone or transmission has seized up ? look under the hood and see if the belt did in fact break and is lodges in someway ! as well as ck the transmission fluid level and physically look under the truck at the drive train and transmission for any visible things that appear out of the ordinary
