Sounds like the torque converter as gone (same as a clutch), find yourself an auto greabox place near you and ask theem for some advice cos iirc theres belts in there that wear out and changable.

Hi Lambo

i would check selector arm first to make sure that it is actually moving into auto & not worn.
