Help! any ideas?

Situation: going from 1st to 2nd gears. Once shifted to 2nd there were no gears. The car does not accellerate in any gears. Basically like stuck in neutral. The TCS/DCS light and ABS light are on. ANY IDEAS?

Do you still have warranty? How many miles? What year?
What have you been working on? Do you have maintenance records?

My Guesses so far

Did you disconnect the battery?
You can reset the TCS/DCS light and ABS light by steering full left then full right.

As for you other issue, check your shifter (see the AFE short shifter install DIY to see how to remove the old one). If that's okay then check your clutch pedal bracket for cracked spot welds.

Or see your dealer.
