Okay I have a 1993 Ford Probe and the day before the transmission went out I bottomed out on my gravel driveway. Anyway I was taking off from a stop and all of a sudden my pedal went to the floor and the engine would just rev. All gears are out even park which ive heard is kinda wierd. The reason I said I bottomed out on my gravel driveway is I was told that if say a line or plug broke and the transmission fluid drained out that all gears wouldnt work. So if you could help me out I would be very greatful.

You will have to get under the car and inspect for external damage to the box, check for fluid loss, you say no park, if you select park what happens, will the car roll? Make sure that the selector is changing at the box and it's not jammed in neutral, If you can see any physical damage to the box, you will need to contact a transmission specialist.

Lots of fluid loss, when it got towed the bed of the tow truck was covered in trans fluid. When in park it just rolls freely. This may seem like a stupid question but what would be the best way to get in close and see the transmission, box and any lines or anything, would I have to take anything off to get to that stuff is basically what im asking? Thanks!

Take the pan off the transmission, the no park is a real worry, as this is a mechanical locking of the mail shaft& gear assembly, I don't think that there is much you can do, it may be a repair for a transmission specialist, if the case is cracked it will be scrap value only.
