My mom's car wouldn't drive in reverse or in drive. It would just rev like if it was in neutral. Not sure if it has low transmission fluid or not. She said she hasn't had it changed or anything in awhile. Would this be the cause or is it something more serious? We really don't have the money to full on replace the transmission if it is going out.

It sounds like you have a gear position sensor or a pressure control solenoid that is out but to be sure let run the codes. Here is a guide that will show you how:

The pressure control solenoid will not set a code. here are diagrams below. Please run down this guide and report back.
