Default Runs but just wont go...i'm new to the forum

I have an 02 dodge neon with a manual transmition. Wrecked it two years ago n finally got out to it and got it going. Took it out on the road yesterday for a test run n made it about a mile and a half from my house, turned around nd on the way back i hit fourth gear and pop. The car was running but had no go...put it in neutral and back in gear and still no go. Pushed the car home with my suv and when i got home my buddy put it in gear and went to get out of the car and it started rolling backward so have to use ebrake. So car runs fine but can't move. Any ideas on what could be wrong???

Do you have any trouble codes (not all codes set the MIL, though it sounds like it should be on)?

Solenoid pack, torque converter, oil pump...

Welcome to DF
I would say you either lost the clutch cable or slave cylinder. Or the clutch itself.

Oops! I read right over "manual." Yes, one of the above!

Being parked doesn't wear a clutch...only the driver does. It's wear and tear, and that's how some people find out it's gone.
