is it stalling?? if it is, it may be a vacuum leak or a faulty idle air control motor.

ok, did not see that in the post. if it wont engage any gear. you may have a failed torque converter or a failed front pump. either way. it will have to come out and most likely re built.

no, i dont believe they are related.
