      Did you let the clutch all the way out? Did you push the accelerator pedal down a bit for good measure?

        It shouldn't take a lot to move. On mine, I just slipped the clutch at idle and it moved instantly. If you're having to give it a lot of throttle and let the clutch out all the way to move at all, it's hosed.

        However, it could also be that somebody removed the front driveshaft - I'd verify that it's still present, if you haven't already.

          Oh yeah, if you have to hit the gas it's pretty much dead. But it's still good to verify how much.

            I’ve never found one that felt in the middle so to say. Either I’m afraid I’m gunna launch off the jack or my rear wheels are free wheeling like crazy.
