    When was your last tranny fluid change, if ever?

    If you have a habit of playing with an auto trans like that,
    1. your tranny gave out
    2. your linkage got disconnected

    It sounds like maybe you broke your shifter cable? I would think it's
    unusual to lose all gears like that suddenly unless it's the cable or
    the TCM is dead? Get a buddy to sit in the car and play with the
    shifter while you look under the hood at the sides of the transmission
    to see if you can see the shift linkage moving.
