O.k. First of all stop with the "LIKE", you sound like a girl!

Sounds to me like it's something to do with your clutch..

Sounds like the auto went south. Before you jump, check trans fluid and also filter. If filter clogged, same symtoms.

Automatics have a filter so as shavings and debris do not enter system. The filter is inside the pan. AutoZone has them for 15.00.

Quick story. Years ago my daughter had an Ford Escort. She stopped at a light and when traffic started the car wouldn't move. Had it towed home. Next day started it, and it wouldn't move when in drive. Dropped pan, replaced filter, and she drove the car 2 more years while she was in college with no problems.
