The car starts and idles fine with no issues. When shifted in to reverse the RPMs drop to 500 and bounce up to 1000. The wrench light and check engine light come on. Also shows an ODO error in the display. When I try to accelerate the car try's to move slightly but goes no where. Same occurs when the car is shifted to drive.

If I put the car directly into 1st 2nd or 3rd I am able to drive it but tops out at about 30mph. Shift back to drive and the car will no longer accelerate and only rev up to about 2500 RPMs. The engine code is a P0720 which is the output shaft speed sensor.
Turn the car off and back on it goes back to idling fine until shifted again.

Yes I just replaced the sensor. It is slightly better but still not right. Still going into limp mode when shifted, but would actually move a little when in reverse and drive. Apparently there are three sensors on the transmission with the same part number. I changed the output shaft speed sensor on the rear of the transmission. Does anyone have any more suggestions....???

The day it happened? No... Had been parked for a and was just going to the gas station. As far as total use its honestly live a rough life. Has been my daily since mile one, and driven pretty hard. Many drag passes and young dumb driving.

When was the last time you checked the condition of the fluid or the level? Kinda sounds like your tranny is fried. Either that or the torque convertor is toast.

No other electrical issues. Yea I'm kinda thinking it's done. It had a good run. The car is still in Houston will be going back to get it next week. I'll be able to look more into it then. If it's fried I guess it will be time to go bigger and better.
