2001 Cavalier Manual Transmission
I have a manual transmission on a 2.2 engine. Last night on the interstate I went to shift gears and there was no drive from from the transmission. Towed home, now I can put it in any gear, but no movement. Even with revving engine, there is no attempt for movement forward or back. Is the only option the clutch & pressure plate?

Clutch and plate would be my guess since it has happen to me twice (clutch breaking the centers out of them), But it could be sticking slave cylinder keeping the clutch disengaged. That happen to me on a 92 cavalier. Damaged trans-axle, Or broke or damaged axle but I'm sure you would have known that.
Good luck

if the trans performs the shift but the engine rpm is flaring...its probably a slipping clutch.
how many miles did you get out of the clutch....it probably lived a full life.

Well, I bought the car used a few months ago and quite frankly it's been used and abused quite well. So, I would agree that the clutch has probably outlived lived its life. It's just that it's a front wheel drive, and I haven't pulled a front wheel drive transmission before. So I just wanted to be sure what I was going for before I tear into it.
