Unhappy Car won't budge

Hey whasup everybody I'm having major problems over here. Earlier today I had my car in Park and I started reving it up real high a few times. Okay then I let the RPMs go back down...so now I'm driving down the street and my car starts jerking at 20 and 25 mph. So I pull over and rev it again....hoping that the problem would fix itself. That only made it worst...now it won't go anywhere I shift into Drive and it doesn't budge it acts like it's in Neutral and it does that with all of the gears. Someone help me please what's wrong with my car?

Turn your OVERDRIVE on and then rev or drive. You cannot go over 2-3k rpm's without overdrive, it u try to floor it, you will be blowing your tranny.

Gotta learn from your mistake man; never rev the engine at any time! It hurts and puts strain on the drivetrain, and could probably kill the tranmission in the long run. Sounds to me like you already had, and that you need a new tranny...

why would you rev it up real high in the first place?? and what where you thinking that if you did it again, it would make it better?? two wrongs dont make a right.

Unhappy

Hey Bryan now that I think about it I think the engine was cold but I'm not sure bcause the needle doesn't go to the middle anymore. It jus goes right under. The reason I was revving it up real high was to get the A/C to blow cooler air (yeah i know that wasn't smart). But the other day I was revving it up high too because I had a flat tire and I have this little thing in my car that allows you to hook it up to the cig' lighter and you hook the other part to where you put air in your tire. And when you step on the gas it puts more air in the tire at a faster rate.
