If you mean it never shifts out of low and reverse works properly, then it may be the governor gear is stripped. Common problem.

If it is just the gear you could just change the gear. If you do it your self it would be a couple dollars for the gear. It could also be a sticking throttle valve in the valve body. Without being able to drive the car it is very difficult to diagnoise the trans.
