All at once, the radiator went while driving. Just after, I had no reverse, and the forward gears gave me no power. After having it towed, it sat for at least two months. i replaced the plastic piece that exploded and caused the radiator issues. However, no matter what gear it is in, including reverse and park, the car will not move but will try to inch forward. it will rev and rev but go nowhere. Any ideas on where to look next before scrapping it all together, since a new tranny will cost more than I paid for the car to begin with!

Hi,

Check if the ATF level is correct.
