If it's not the engine, not the transaxle, not the clutch, not the halfshafts, and not the CV joints, then there's no problem. Seriously - that's all there is to the drivetrain. You insist that every component is working fine, but obviously something isn't.

The only thing left I can think of is that you've got a caliper that's frozen and keeping the brake on hard preventing the car from moving. It'd have to be a front caliper because if it were a rear brake, the rear tires would just be dragged given enough power. Again, the shop should've caught this problem when they pulled it apart to check the transaxle.

I know it's a Ford garage. They are not diagnosing the problem correctly.

kinda hard to tell not looking at it but what if the slave cylindar failed? or is it shifting gears? ie broken shift cables. does car roll or is the fornt tires locked?

since its out of car take it to different tranny shop and get second opinion lol.

I might know a kid who could fix it for, say $40. Plus labor.

Well, your first step should be to stop "smoking blunts", as its apparently corrupting your "comprehension" file in your brain. Look, some VERY knowledgeable people have given you advice on what to look for, and you are getting defensive at their suggestions. If you really want us to help you, please consider what you're being told and don't just blow it off.
