Best Answer

This sounds like a complete transmission or drive train failure. But further questions need to be answered. Do feel resistance when moving the the gear selection lever or is it extremely loose? Have you tried Reverse or manual '1' rather then 'Drive' with the same results? Check the transmission level and condition you should have a transparent red and not a dark brown color? Did you experience any slippage or excess engine rpm previous to this condition? Answer these then I could be more helpful.

What is A torque converter?

a major part of an automatic transmission... A torque converter is what couples the engine to the transmission. It acts a little bit like a clutch and allow the engine to drive the transmission. At slow engine speeds, like at idle, it slips so the engine will not stall while the transmission is in gear. As engine speed (RPM) increases it allows the engine to drive the transmission. This is just the basic idea of what a torque converter does.

How often do people get transmissions for their cars?

One of the first clues that a person has to replace automatic transmission is that it is slipping. This happens when the engine revs higher, but the vehicle is not moving any faster. The vehicle may seem like the wheels are not connected to the engine, like the transmission is in neutral, and then it may catch suddenly, and drive under full power.

What would make a car vibrate shudder and feel like something is grinding when in gear and not in neutral?

It would be good if you stated what kind of car and trans you have. It can be either engine or trans mounts especially if it is front wheel drive. Have it checked out. GoodluckJoe
