So about a little over a month ago my 2005 nissan fuga 250gt went down
Was at the gas station filling up and upon starting I heard a shutter at the start.. no engine vibration or nothing. The noise eventually went away as to where I drove it home. On the way home I heard a winning noise and I noticed as I was pressing gas the car would rev but would just coast.I then turned it off for a while and I was able to start it and make my way home and there she has been parked up. I had the transmission fluid drained and replaced and she still hasn't moved.
When she starts I am able to shift and move but as the car warms up she would just rev
No warning light
No check engine light
Any suggestions?
Been gone for a minute....back with a new problem

So when the engine is warm you can drive it normally but when it warms up the transmission completely fails to move the car?

Upon initial start up I can shift gears and give it gas normally
As it get warm there is a lot of hesitation before the car actually moves if it moves at all

Sounds like your transmission clutch packs are wiped out.
I wish you had gotten a sample of the drained transmission fluid so it could have been analyzed,
but from how you describe the conditions I fear the worst.
That little bit of get up and go when cold is because the clutch packs are down to metal,
being pressed together by the cool transmission fluid when cold. As the metal plates get hot from the friction
this produces, and the oil heats up, you start to slip again. No more clutch material left on the plates to keep it all locked up tight!
I am sure if you removed the transmission pan you would find lots of clutch material in it.
Of course I could be wrong, it all has to be checked out, but this is just my opinion from how you describe things.
How many miles do you have on the vehicle?
Just a thought, double check the transmission fluid to be sure it was not overfilled/underfilled.
You can check this via the charge tube behind the engine. The tube cap should double as a dipstick.
