Hi:
If you are getting no response from the trans, make sure the ATF is full. If it it is, has the check engine light come on? There could be a sensor problem, but honestly, if you get nothing, it sounds like a problem with the valve body or something internal. As far as the starter, have a helper turn the key to the start position (when the starter isn't working) and check for 12 volts to the smaller wire on the starter.

Let me know what you find.

Suggested Repair

Check that the automatic transmission fluid is full. If it is full and there is still no drive, look for a check engine light or sensor fault; otherwise suspect the valve body or an internal transmission problem. For the no-crank, have a helper turn the key to start and check for 12 volts on the small wire at the starter.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1994 Plymouth 3.3 V6 reports that the starter will not crank, there is a coolant leak, and selecting a gear feels like neutral while only park works. The expert advises confirming the transmission fluid level, checking for a check engine light or sensor issue, and considering a valve body or internal transmission fault if the fluid is full. For the starter, check for 12 volts at the small starter wire while the key is held in start.
