First check fluid level in trans. with engine running.

If OK, then check shift cable from console to trans. Have someone move lever to all gears and watch cable at trans. Hopefully a bolt is loose, or bracket broken.

If all the above is OK, then it is internal to trans and would have to be diagnosed by shop, some chains are offering free diagnosis, so at least you will know where you are at.

If trans requires rebuild, look for good used trans at junkyard.
