So you have reverse engagement, and if park holds on a hill, And the lever at the transmission does have full range of motion, if all that is true, then most likely the forward clutch is damaged in the transmission, or the seals are blown on the forward clutch, or a one way clutch sprag is damaged, Most likely the transmission will either have to come out for a rebuild, or you could go to www.car-part.com and get a used one to replace it with with lowest mileage as possible on it. That is a parts locater that locates available parts by your zip code. Which will most likely be the most economical way to repair it, vs. rebuilding the unit that is in it. Thank you and let us know if you have any further questions.
