When an E230 won't shift beyond first gear and reverse, it may indicate a problem with the Transmission Fluid, such as low levels or contamination, which can affect shifting performance. Additionally, issues with the transmission control module, faulty sensors, or mechanical problems within the transmission itself could also be to blame. It's advisable to have a professional diagnose the issue to determine the specific cause and necessary repairs.

Most likely it means the transmission is going out. This could be caused by a lack of transmission fluid or a complete failure of the system (judging from the minor incident to the major, respectively). I would get someone you trust or a mechanic to look at it to give you an evaluation. It is typical for older Ford cars to loose their ability to shift into gears. Good luck.
