I slid into ditch the other night, did not bottom out but barely nudged a street sign pole. Immediately I had no reverse, no overdrive, I do have first, second and D. But it only goes thirty mph tops, and revs up to about 3,500 rpm. And that is that. It is almost like it is stuck in a gear, there is a slight almost like marbles rolling around sound when I try to put it in reverse.

Could be a big dent in your transmission pan. A dent like that can cause problems for the pump in building fluid pressure, which is needed for switching gears and so forth. Look under your car at the transmission and see. It should be closer to the driver's side, near the front driver's side wheel. The pan is large and supposed to be flat. Take a look. Take some pictures and post them here. We will look and see what we can see.
