Re: 08 Altima engine starts, gas pedal revs motor, but car doesnt move!
Based on the swaying you felt and that clicking noise, it’s highly likely you have a broken CV axle rather than a total transmission failure. In front-wheel-drive cars like your Altima, if one axle snaps, the differential sends all the power to that broken side, causing the engine to rev without the car moving. A quick way to check is to put the car in Park, if it rolls freely like it's in Neutral, the axle is definitely disconnected. You can also peek behind the front wheels with a flashlight to look for a snapped metal shaft or a torn rubber boot.
