It definitely is the transmission. I changed out the filter and 4 quarts of ATF +4. Now I t shifts into reverse and drive with no problem but as soon as I push on the gas it lunges forward but in reverse it does fineIt definitely is the transmission.

Sounds like a crank sensor or a mass air flow sensor. Take it to an Auto parts store and have them read the trouble code for you. It will tell you what circuit is affected.
1. Yes the 3.3 and the 3.8 are the same bolt pattern. But the gear ratio in the differential might be different.
2. Did you replace the filter and put it back together? Does it do the same thing after you changed the filter? If it was an electrical issue with speed sensors or the solenoid pack, reverse would still work.
I need a little mor info. But the reason for the being stuck in 2nd gear is because when something goes wrong with the tranny. it goes into "LIMP" mode wich keeps the trans. from shifting out of 2nd when you are going forward. It does sound like your trans. is gone out though.
Sounds like an ignition miss, Probably has an ignition cable arcing, I'd try and scan the computer for codes, you are looking for a PO300,301,302,303,304,305,or306. If you have any of these I'd start with plugs and wires. The grinding in reverse could be the low reverse planetaries, drop the trans pan and inspect for debris/metal on the magnet, if it looks like a chia pet, replace the trans with a reman unit.
I would have the transaxle mount on the driver side engine compartment checked. One way to get an idea if it may be shot is to start engine, apply park brake, put transaxle in reverse and with one foot on main brake pedal and other on gas give the gas a quick tap and see if you hear a loud thump which will be the transaxle flexing the trans mount. If the rubber insulator is shot then you'll hear it.
