Check the linkage from the passenger side of the transmission to your throttle linkage, for damage, warped, binding, broken..
There is a bushing in the transmission end of the rod, it is common for it to disintegrate.

So last night I believe the transmission went out on me. It made one big slip then wouldn't go in to any forward gears. When I checked the transmission fluid level it was low. When I added more fluid it didnt correct the problem.

With the way it was shifting before the big faliure I think that I am going to roll the dice on a new transmission. I found a used one here locally for $250. It seems like a decent deal.
