The starting of the engine is not directly related to the transmission apart from the range switch that will only allow you to start in N and P. Sounds as if there is a serious problem with in the transmission, this will have to be checked first hand with a specialized test equipment, if it will not drive it will have to be towed to a work shop for further investigation, just ensure that the transmission oil is full and not burnt, there is not a lot you can do at home with this problem.

Check that the engine mounts are ok and that he selector cable is ok and is selecting gears, if these are ok, the problem will be in the transmission.
