Once I put it in reverse then it will start to reverse then kick into neutral when I hit the gas. Then when I put it in drive, the engine shuts off. I have already replaced the solenoid pack, the main connector, the torque converter, and the overdrive servo.

Hello, when the overdrive servo is removed while the transmission is still installed, there is a chance that the overdrive band falls out of place. Were you able to make sure that the servo pin engaged with the band? Otherwise, it will not work at all. If the issue has not changed at all since replacing any of these parts, I would suggest removing the transmission for disassembly. Common failures on these would be a failed forward drum, direct clutch drum, and broken snap rings. Please let us know what you find or if you have any other information.
