1995 Chevy Lumina Automatic 210000 miles

hallo,
we have been having engine problems. A week ago something made a noise while driving, then the speedometer went beserk, then it went to zero. Car would not shift, so I cruised it and then it started driving. Still speedometer only working occasionally. Next day, it would not get out of 1st gear and we drove home at 10 miles an hour. Been parked for a week. Husband replaced the transmission filter and fluid. Drove it 2 x a few miles. Today, after driving maybe 5 miles, he had no gears. Car would not shift into gears.

this is our only car. Husband has been unemployed for better part of 2 years. We need for this car to drive. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thank you !

Inspect and test the vehicle speed sensor the computer uses this sensor to command and control the transmission.

1st you need to inspect it-you can put a drill to it and spin slowly and watch the speedometer needle it should be moving make sure the key is on.
