If water got into the transmission, there is no telling how much damage it causeed to the pumps, torque convertor and/or clutches. I am sorry to say you are probably in for a transmission rebuild or replacement.
This is a transmission related issue. If the vehicle starts but will not go in any gear you have an intrernal tranny problem. Will it move at all in neutral? Check and see if the trans fluid is at the proper level. I believe these transmissions are just drain and fill ( no filter change ) during fluid service. If the fluid level is correct and a good color, the internal differential may have come apart causing the lock up situation. If the fluid level is low ( suspect a leak especially after a service ) and low fluid will cause a no shift/drive issue
The neutral safety switch should not affect the shifting of the transmission. The neutral safety switch is there just to make sure that you have the transmission in park or neutral when cranking the engine. It is just a safety mechanism to prevent cranking while in forward or reverse and having the car lurch forward or backward.
DO A TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE.MORE LIKELY TRANSMISSION FILTER STOPPED UP.TRANSMISSION NEED MORE FLUID PRESSURE WHEN GOING IN REVERSE.STOPPED UP FILTER WILL RESTRICT FLUID PRESSURE.TRANSMISSION NEED GOOD FLUID PRESSURE TO OPERATE CORRECTLY.
YOU COULD HAVE FAULTY TRANSMISSION NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH BUT CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL MAKE SURE NOT LOW .IF ITS BEEN A LONG TIME. CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER.TRANSMISSION NEED MORE FLUID IN REVERSE BECAUSE NEED HIGHER FLUID PRESSURE TO APPLY REVERSE CLUTCH AND GEARS.
check transmission fluid make sure its not low.if fluid looks black and smells burnt.change transmission fluid and filter.if you already change fluid and filter.your transmission manual valve out of adjustment.or you have faulty oil pump and worn over drive with a damage roller clutch.also forward clutch has worn or burned clutch plates damage piston or seals.
It is hard to say, but as long as all of the forward gears work fine, then it might work for a long time. But without knowing what is wrong, I would at least change the fluid to remove as much metal or clutch material as you can. Don't worry about the filter, you can't change it without disassembling the trans. Just drain the fluid and refill it. This won't fix reverse, but it might prolong further problems. And don't park where you can't pull straight out.
