I have a 1996 v6 3.0 taurus and my car turns on and you can accelerate the car but it wont move and i can put it on which ever gear and it wont grab the gear. i tried putting it on neutral and drive and reverse and it wont do anything

Top off ATF fluid on level ground

Use gear shiftier to move from 1 - 2 -3
to proof transmission is funcational.

-New transmission.

This Sounds Like The Linkage On The Gear Box Has Changed ,The Lever Is Not Reaching The Correct Position When it Is moved to park ,Drive, Etc.
Check The Cable ,Linkages From The Change Lever To The Gear Box

sounds to me like your throttle position sensor needs replacing, these are plentiful at a breakers yard & will fit in your pocket nicely, generally just a couple of screws to undo & a wire harness to undo, replacement is a reversal of removal, also while you are in that area it may pay to grab a can of carb cleaner & clean your air intake, not forgetting both sides of the butterfly valve, just liberally spray it in the intake & the carbon deposits will be pushed thru the cars exhaust system.

Have you checked the level of the transmission oil ? The level does not have to be down much to encounter the type pf problem you are having. With the oil warm and the engine idling in neutral, the Transmission dipstick should show the level between the low and full marks.

probably locked the gears inside the transmission. grab a pair of vise-grips and grab the connecting rod and try to move it that way and see if you get any movement.

SOUND LIKE THE TRANSAXLE DRIVE CHAIN AND DRIVE SPROCKET BEARINGS IS SHOT.

Take the car to a tranny shop,sounds like a torque converter problem. It'll get worse.

my ford taurus did this to me too.... your car wont move out of park because it might be the neutral safety switch because your brake light connector piece might have come undone...
now first off the brakes (my switch was above my brake pedal) and just make sure its clipped in and then your neutral safety switch should go of and you can put it into gear.
if you cant find the brake thing to see if its unplugged just turn your key slightly on before all your dash lights come on and put the car into neutral and then start your car and you can put it into gear.

i have a 2001 ford taurus and it did the same thing a while back, call the dealer and ask them for the sensor that is behind the brake pedal. It is not the transmission .. cost less that 25 bucks to fix and takes about 20 min
