Engine revs, but no acceleration

[slaball1]

Hello.. Last night on my way home I was entering the highway and I pushed on the gas my engine starting revving but the car would not accelerate. I was able to pull off to the side of the road, turned car off and waited a few minutes and restarted. Still nothing! I have had NO slippage problems and only a occassional hesitation(which I see seems to be normal for this car) no warning lights came on either.. It seems as though all the gears are in neutral.. nothing works..


P.S. This car has a new/rebuilt engine(replaced May 2005).

transmission type
year/make/model

Oops, sorry, I guess that would help a little bit! I have a 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse - Automatic Transmission. No modifications

hey i had that same poblem with my last eclipse befor i got this one, i had a automatic as well and it did the same thing, well it turned out my tranny was bad, so after waiting for ever for a new one i went ahead and bought a 92 eclipse (5 speed) and scraped my old one
