My 2006 Mitsubishi Triton manual is suddenly not moving when in gear. It was running and slowly losing power, but is now not moving when I put it into gear. The engine runs very well. I tried putting it in 4WD and there’s a very slight movement when I take my foot off the clutch, but basically, no movement.

17 Feb 2025If the engine is running well, but the car won’t move in gear when you take your foot off the clutch, it’s very likely that your clutch has failed. The clutch is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the gearbox and, if it wears out, it can no longer do so and the vehicle will just sit there and not move even when you take your foot off the clutch pedal and the car is in gear.
You noted that the car had previously seemed to lose power, but this was more likely to be the start of the clutch failing and not transferring all the power it should have been. Eventually, though, the failure became total and no power is getting through to the gearbox (and, therefore, the wheels).
A new clutch is the likely fix but make sure to check the flywheel for damage and wear while the car is apart.
