Best Answer

Automatic transmissions have separate forward & reverse clutches. Your forward clutch is likely failed - burned out, etc. I had a similar failure on an Olds Cutlass many years ago. Got the car home by driving backwards for about four blocks (not recommended!).

I assume that the engine cranks but will not run. Take a spark plug wire off the plug and hold it one inch from the engine while someone cranks it. If fire jumps then you have ignition. That being the case, spray a small amount of carburetor cleaner into the air intake. If the engine starts and dies then you have a fuel problem.
