Replace the out put speed sensor. The reason it is in 2nd gear.(limp mode) Looking down at the front of the transmission, it is the sensor on the right. The dieing could be a dirty air filter, throttle body and IAC motor.

SOURCE: shifting gears

the speed sensor is for Overdrive only, it does not shift the gears it sends the signal to the transmission control module that in turn signals the overdrive shift solenoid to engage/shift into OD.

I have a'99 dodge grand caravan, the bumper got smashed into radiator, but the radiator isn't damaged. Now it won't shift, dies when put into neutral, also the speedometer won't work.

Check the wiring harness going to the transmission for damage.
The speedo and shifting problems could be no signal from the speed sensor on the side of the trans, and the neutral problem could be the shift selector switch circuit.
