Exclamation shifted into reverse while driving

Need a little help.

Accidentally shifted 99 Expedition into reverse while driving about 50 mph. Shifted into neutral and the tires locked up and power steering went out and it died. It will start now, and run, but only if you are pushing the gas. It won't idle. It also sounds like it is missing. Things are clanking and rattling.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction on how to fix this problem.

It sounds like you've done some major damage. I don't think we're going to be able to tell you much more than you need a new engine, tranny, or transfer case.
