Okay, let me tell it to you like it is; you can start the car in park and leave it in park and rev the engine and the car goes forward you put it in reverse and it goes forward you put it in neutral and it goes forward you put it in drive and it goes forward like nothing is wrong with it. same thing going back to park. what can I do to figure what is wrong with it?

Good morning,

Okay, you either have a seized forward clutch pack or a valve stuck in the valve body allowing flow to activate the clutch pack.

I would drop the pan and look for any debris in the bottom of the pan. If there is, good chance it is the clutches that are seized. If that is the case, the transmission will have to be removed and inspected for damage.
