On my transmission the reverse works, but when I put it in drive it is like it does not want to come out of neutral. So I have no drive.

Sounds like one of your clutch paks are shot or the running clutch. Put it in Low and see if it moves if it does then it confirms what I just said were bad. Transmission will probably need rebuilt.

There is no forward gears at all, but there is not a popping sound or anything.

If no forward gears then it's probably rebuild time or a valve body problem. Have a trans guy look at it. Check fluid as well if it's dark brown or black it's no good
