Transaxle or transmission problems	Sign In

Hello all,
I have a problem with my sister's 2003 Jetta GL. It is a manual transmission. She was driving and came to the stop sign, stopped, put it back in gear and it wouldn't drive. Apparently when she was learning to drive it with my mother a few days earlie and she said she smelled something burning. I guess they didn't think anything of it, now I have to clean up the mess.

When the front end is up on jackstands I can put the car in gear and the wheels will turn. However, I can put my hand on the wheels while they are turning and stop the wheels from turning. When on the ground the car can be pushed forward and backward while in gear and will go into all gear but the car won't move on its own. There are no abnormal noises or anything like that.

Someone told me that it might be the slave cylinder but I don't know if he knows what he's talking about. I think that it may be the either the pressure plate or the clutch but I don't know. I haven't opened it up yet but I'm just trying to figure out if this is something that I can do myself or if I should just give up and take it to a repair shop.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

........"Something burning smell" , "Learning to drive a standard" , "No noises and can push the car in gear"

Classic for clutch totally worn out. They actually can behave right up to the last bit and go fast as soon as any slippage is noticed,
