Welcome to CF!

It could be that your torque converter is locked up internally. This can happen, but it's rare. Usually this is caused by a burnt out torque converter solenoid keeping the clutch engaged all the time.

You can do an electrical check from the wiring connector on the side of the transmission. I'd have to look up the resistance values and pin locations. I'll get back to you later.
