Hi,
I was driving on RTE 95 doing the speed limit (65) and cruising along with no problem when all of a sudden the car lost it's power and basically felt like it was in neutral.
I coasted to the side of the road, engine still running, and tried moving through the gears.... All gears the same, engine would rev when hitting the gas but there was nothing happening. It was like all gears were neutral.
It's a GTZ version Galant with 133K miles.
This is the first issue I have had with this car... any advice????
Could be a few things:
I hope this leads you in the right direction. Don't be afraid to post back with any questions. Best of luck.

I am having the same problem. What was the problem with yours? Was it just the fluid? or did the transmission go out?
Mine just did the same exact thing cruising at 75mph ... I took it to th tranny shop and he said the pump in the transmission blew and particles were everywhere in the transmission so it needed to be rebuilt ending cost... 2200$ :(
Im having the same problem. But will move foward if I step the gas pedal super slow. Since its the family car, I had the fluid drained yesterday. There was ateast 8 quarts in the bin. It seemed thin as water and was dirty black. Had it changed with 4 quarts only. Also did the throttle body clean and gas tank clean and even vaccum clean with Sea Foam. It burned alot of the accumulated carbon but its still sluggish. Wont go past 30 unless I go super slow. Maybe its a Sensor. In my case, I think the Catalyctic converters areclogged. Need to get that checked too.

It's an automatic transmission
Is this a manual transmission or automatic?
The same thing happened to me on my '01 galant; it ended up being a pump or something in the transmission. It cost me a little over $800 to get it repaired.
