I was at a stopsign and my car suddenly would not move. It shifts in gear but will not go. It was fine earlier and I can't understand what happened so suddenly. I had my car towed home and was told it could be the transmission. It has fluid in it, so does this mean that I need a new transmission?

When the car starts now it makes a funny noise that it didn't before. The car is automatic and shifts easily in gear but will not move. When I had the car towed home, I was told it could be the transmission needs to be replaced. Is this the problem and if so how long does it take to repair?

I don't think you would need a new transmission. It could be the torque converter. When the car is running and make alot noise in the transmission area it will be the torque converter

Look in your phone book for a transmission shop, close to you if possible, they may come and pick it up and fix your problem. Stay away from regular shops and dealers.
Be sure to get a firm price. They will need to pull the transmission out first.
Gonna cost a few hundred $$

not sure about the KIA but my sister had a VW that seemed fine except it would not move!! after changing the clutch and a whole bunch of stuff I noticed the axle to the drive wheel turned but not the wheel,,, the axle and wheel hub had a spline drive and the teeth on the splines where worn out!! we changed the wheel hub and it was running great!!!

i own a repair shop,and if it doesn't move any at all i think there is a problem with it yes,and it may be out,you need to have it checked our to see it might be fixable right now,but if you try to drive it,,might burn it all the way out of it,good luck i hope this help,s.
