Default ***Tranny Problems*** Advice please

I have a 1992 Civic LX

it is a hydraulic manual transmission but i put it in 1st gear to drive and as soon as i started to pull off it seemed as if it slipped out of gear. It did not move but yet the RPM's and Speedometer moved as if i was driving. But also it has a whinding noise as if it is spinning but not catching. IT WILL NOT MOVE IN ANY GEAR! We just replaced the tranny about 3 months ago. But yet the same thing has happend as the last. Any advice or ideas?

PLEASE HELP!

This is usually an axle problem, such as a broken CV joint. Or one of the drive axles has popped out of the transmission. Make sure they are both fully seated. The fact that the speedometer goes up indicates that the transmission is working and the final gear is turning.

Ok if its not because the axles are not seated could it be the differentials?

ya that sounds really odd that the speedometer says your moving... has to be something with your axles not fully seated or something internaly broken.
ive never even heard of many problems with the outputs on the tranny. most ive heard is the axle poping out causing a problem. but could always just be a fluke failure.

You can do this test: Lift both front wheels off the ground. With the engine OFF, put the transmission in any gear. Rotate one wheel by hand. The other wheel should turn the opposite direction. If not, look for where the motion is being lost. Next put one wheel down. It should be impossible to turn the other wheel then.
