Sounds broken...
Game over man, game over!Look at the fluid on the dipstick. If it is not pinkish red see if it stinks. If it does back off and nuke it from orbit. It is the only way to be sure.

Like dead bodies 2 days later. Even if you never smelled a burnt tranny before smelling the fluid will REALLY stink. Strange all would go out but reverse. I would bet computer issue, tranny is computer controlled. If you take it to a tranny shop they WILL sell you a new tranny. Try Harbor Freight. They sell scanners as cheap as $35-$40. Follow the EASY to read instructions and it will tell you if it's a tranny problem or a computer problem. I will give you 3-1 its a computer problem.
i haven’t picked the car up yet. May not if it needs too much. My son said that it sometimes had forward gears and he moved it around to mow and now it seems to only have reverse. I’m going over to look at it this week.In this are you getting a check engine or any codes.

My son gave me this car and I am looking into fixing it instead of driving my. F250 daily.. auto tranny,it has 77000 miles 1 owner and looks great for the year. Any one have any experience with this issue. Thanks
So my real experience with this. It's more than likely toast.
Awhile back our neighbors had a Nissan Maxima with the same problem. Dude was so cheap he drove it all the way to Aamco early in the morning in reverse. They checked it out and of course it needed a rebuild for, yep a grand. Everything is a grand these days. So he drove it back home in reverse, and parked it in the cul de sac. It sat there for a few months before I approached him about purchasing the vehicle. Before I made an offer I did research on the vehicle. It was a solid vehicle with alot of options for its time. In my research I found a junkyard that had the tranny in stock for a good price and a 30 day warranty. Place on Tibbs in Indianapolis, cant remember the name but they specialize in Imports. So I bought the car from him for $200 bucks. Got a Haynes manual for about $15 dollars. Spent the next 2 leisurely weekends swapping the transmission with my dad. Working with my dad has always been fun because he sits on one of those roll around stools with a beer in his hand telling you have everything needs to be done. Used to be annoying, but now I wouldn't have it any other way.
Any way I digress. Bought the car for $200, used tranny was $500. Did the swap ran great. $700 transportation, cant beat that.
Be careful installing the torque converter. I nicked the input shaft seal, got to pull the tranny twice.
Replace the torque converter too. I bet it's not a hard job if you have a few skills.
Put some LGBTQfluid on the seal and pump drive snout on the converter. Just be gentle.
