Lost forward gears
You have lost the 1st, 2nd, etc. in DRIVE? If you put the car in SECOND does it move forward a little bit? Put the car in Manual 2nd, can you shift into DRIVE and feel the third gear? This happened to me. The 'forward clutch' needs replacing. The transmission clutch plates in that part are glazed over because the fluid is burned. See if your fluid is brown.
Won't idle
It used to be that this was nearly always bad engine timing, but nowadays you suspect first the IAC valve being stuck or clogged, and then possible vacuum leaks in the inlet manifolding. Others have found a clogged PCV valve to be the cause.
