Car will only go into 1st gear and reverse. When I shift into 2nd or D there is a whine / grinding noise but wont move the car at all. I don't know much at all about transmissions but this is my only car and I am trying to figure something out. If anyone could help it would be very appreciated.

It sounds like your transmission needs to be rebuilt or replaced. You might want to upgrade to a 200 4R

If it is a 200, I think GM had a bulletin about that back in the 80s that you could look up about a direct clutch issue. If you're going to have it fixed, you might as well just overhaul the unit.

Where would you look up the bulletin?
