Buick Lesabre Transmission Problem

I have a 2001 Buick Lasabre for the past couple of days it was not cranking without being jumped off then last night I pulled in to get gas and it would not go into reverse. I finall got the car to go into drive and got just a little ways down the road and the car starts grrinding and stops driving. Please tell me what this could be.

Sounds like an internal mechanical failure with the transmission, you will have to get it towed into a transmission repair work shop as it will require a hands on diagnosis to determine the exact cause, but i feel from what you have mentioned that it will be a fairly major failure.
