Could just be no oil in the gearbox as autoboxes usually ok unless the fluid level drops so try that first

usually checking oil colouyr helps diagnoses ,blackish it needs to come to bits as 1 or more clutch packs burnt out ,often can be fixed relatively cheaply once box out,free wheel clutches often cause problems ,does it reverse
