What would cause an auto transmission to only shift into drive. No 1 no 2 no R no P. Its a 3speed auto. Runs fine in drive. Whats weird is if i put it to 1 it does nothing dont go dont do anything?

Something is wrong with either the shift linkage, shift actuator mechanism or the valve body.

Try disconnecting the shifter cable from the linkage rod, have someone start the car and hold the brakes and try to change the gears with the linkage ( you will have to reach down from the drivers side of the engine). If it changes gear, then its in the shifter or shifter cable, if not, then it's an internal problem.
