probably not going to save you anything going that way. dealership = stealership
i feel bad for you though, tranny problems are the worst because of how hard to work on they are. anyone can do engine work but you gotta really know and have tranny tools to work on transmissions.

Ugh. I had something similar happen in my old truck. Check your fluid level, it may be way low. But chances are the transmission crapped and needs to be rebuilt. And get a transmission cooler!

Sounds like just a low/reverse band adjustment. Most repair manuals can walk you through that repair/adjustment. If first gear engages ok then I would drop the pan and adjust the low/reverse before I condem the trans to a rebuild.
