If reverse is done and you can only go forward is it shifting out of first. If its not then you need the transmission rebuilt. That's what happened on my truck.

Hello,
It sounds as if the transmission's clutch plates are excessively worn. You have 2 options;
1. Replace all of the transmission fluid & the filter too. That may fix the problem although not guaranteed to work completely.
2. Do what I ultimately had to do (after trying the 1st thing) and bring it to a Transmission repair shop and have it rebuilt for $1,400 (as good as new). I thought the van was worth it and I could get a lot more miles from it of course you have to determine this for your self and your van's condition.
Good Luck!

Check the brake pedal safety interlock. It's electrical & mechanical & often you can have a misadjusted cable or bad solenoid that dis engages the lock. There's a bypass on the gear shift,small slot that the ignition key fits into in order to move the gear selector. Do not turn the key,just insert it & move the selector to neutral,start the car & take it to a repair facility of your choice.

Check your transmission fluid. If it's low, add fluid, if its brown or smells burnt, replace it along with the filter.
