check for any leaks first,second check your trans. fluid if either of them are not that. it's a possabillity that your drive belt in your transmission has broken.if it is you'll need to have it rebuilt or buy a new transmission.

when was the last time you changed the trans fluid and filter? pull the trans dipstick and look at the fluid. if it looks dark and not red and has a bad smell, at 60,000 it could be a bad converter or rebuild time. chrysler was never a company for a great long lasting trans. if you decied to change the fluid and filter, look in botom of trans pan for metal pieces, make sure you clean them out before you change fluid and filter. if there are a lot it's a bad trans and if not many it could just be in need of the fluid and filter. make sure you use the correct fluid. anyway this is the cheapest thing to try first. but like the other reply, it could also be a loose or broken band. it would help to know what type of trans it is. i hope this helped!

Suggested Repair

Check for leaks and inspect transmission fluid level, color, and smell. Changing the fluid and filter is the cheapest first step; inspect the pan for metal debris and use the correct fluid. Dark or burnt fluid, heavy metal, a failed converter, or a loose or broken band or drive belt may require a transmission rebuild or replacement.

Conversation Summary

A 1994 Chrysler New Yorker with about 60,000 miles starts but will not move. Experts recommend checking for leaks and transmission fluid condition, then changing the fluid and filter while inspecting the pan for metal. Possible causes include a bad converter, a loose or broken band, or a broken transmission drive belt that would need a rebuild or a new transmission.
