hi, i am new here and i say hello to everyone.
i just bought a 1997 A4 2.8 V6 manual from copart.com (an on line aution web site very well know in USA) the car hasn' the front bumper and the lights, it has a very litle wreck in the hood but there is no damage in the front beside the hood, not even in the radiator. so, i win the car and went to try it, the battery was dead so i jumpstart from another vehicule and the engine run perfectly, no noises were notice any light in the dashboard stays on, so everything looks ok but when i try to move the car foward or reverse, but the car didn't move a bit, i shift all the gears and it looks like they shift correctly.

can anyone give an advice about this, i ask to some mechanics (they didn't check the car) about any probable reason and they said that its not the tranny but i want to know someone else opinion, maybe this happened to any of you, i hope that the problem won't be with the tranny because i think that the car sould be moving when the collision happened. am i wrong?
please your quick comment about this will be highly apreciated

thanks in advance...
