Automatic gearbox failed

very poor evidence told, (sorry) RPM 0 means engine did not start./
no year car told or engine size, (automatic trans sure)
learn that cars are complex. for SURE failed.
tell all that works and that which does not. both,
do not tell me it relates to throttle body lacking any proof. oK?
did you buy a dead car or out of the blue it fails.
does the starter motor work each time key is turned (grrrrrgrrrr) not silent ?
does not make noises means what exactly, (add one noun)
well it needs service and 99.9% off all modern folk(not me) get it fixed in a shop.
Things the average user can do.?

1. check all fuses.
2. make sure the battery holds a full charge, 12.6vdc rested
3. if starter fails clean battery lugs, or jump start it.
4. if engine starter is still dead, crank it in Park then crank in Neutral. wow that works yes, the PRNDL switch is bad. on the P pin lug. (buy a new one)
5. OK engine cranks good , runs and keeps running, but lacks power.
6. lack of power can be caused by many things, (complexity) bad engine, bad spark and last bad fueling (and more, I stop)
7. scan the PCm or get it scanned,? a tool, all shops have.

why not let a shop fix it, any USA ASE shop can, ASE are smart techs.trained.

Worn synchromesh on the 1st and 2nd gear cluster...........New or reconditioned gearbox needed.

Check in order PCV valve, air filter, transmission fluid, oxygen sensor, EGR system.

maybe the valves are knoking ?

I had exactly same noise on mine, was the top engine stabiliser (fits on o/s/f inner wing)

If you have the GDI model,they were designed to run on very lean air/fuel ratio.
Once the mileage is up a bit a lot of problems can be traced back to a high carbon build up in the intake manifold.

Hi

Get the fluid checked in the gearbox, it could be the slave cylinder on it's way out, or the clutch could simply be jammed. Also look around the gearbox for fluid leaks.

It is difficult to say but I think it's most likely just jammed.
