Help me please.

i have a 2001 ford explorer sport, 4.0, 226k , 5r55e transmission.

my truck wont drive in reverse nor drive. only in 1 and 2 gear.
do i need to get a new transmission or does it need to be rebuilt?
is there a way to find out what the problem is without spending an outragous amount of money?

Classic symptoms for when the OD sprag fails. Transmission has to come out to be repaired. good luck.
