Exclamation car finaly gave up maybe?

i think my car just finally gave up, maybe? >:/
so i was moving my car so i could park the honda on the street and when i put in first, let the clutch go, and slightly creeped out while turning to the left to see if car was coming, then the car cracked loud and my steering stiffened up badly, now its like i have no P.S and i cant even drive it.. my clutch was slipping but im sure it has ntn to do with it. i only moved it a couple feet and i havent had any issues but the clutch recently started today

Sounds like snapped drive belt. Check that all the pulleys spin smoothly.

Water pump is driven by timing belt. If the timing belt broke that would be a whole other set of problems.

Lol. Come on bro's. Let's not put out incorrect info. A water pump has nothing to do with the timing of the crank and cams. Your serpentine belt/drive belt is fubar. That's why your power steering is gone and your alternator isn't charging/ battery light is on. Buy a new one.

I'm not putting out incorrect info. No one ever said anything about timing issues. If you read my post before I said the exact same thing as you. Drive belt aka serpantine belt aka accessory belt snapped. I was simply trying to correct the other post mentioning the water pump pulley and I was stating that the OPs problems have nothing to do with water pump.
Just to clarify
