While driving on the highway, the car seemingly drops its transmission/clutch. It could not get into any gear, but instead just revved up with the gas pressed. I thought my clutch just went. I pull over and turn the car off. I tried to start it and all I get is a whirring crank. It tries to turn over but is having problems cranking. It doesnt seem likely that the clutch went at the same time there was an engine problem. What could this be?? My best guess is the flywheel, but I am an amateur and want to diagnose ths before ripping the whole car apart to find the problem.
