Transmission is not working no reverse at all and when the car is in drive it will drive some and in park it wants to drive as well, starts fine just happened all of a sudden. Ac blower stopped working that day as well then works slowly sometimes earlier in the day while in park the rpms where idling high and low like it would maybe drive then not. Again can press gas while in park and pulls forward some? Trans been fine till this.

Wouldnt hurt to scan it for codes to see if there was any. Also if the linkage is working like it should and you car is pulling forward in park then there is something wrong inside the transmission. As far as your blower moter sounds like another issue I would. Worry about the trans mission first.I would see what color the transmission fluid is and if there is any metal in the fluid.
