The reverse clutch won't cause a no forward. Something is broken in there. All you need to do is find it. Did you open the pump?

Well if nothing is broken and everything is fine this trans will work fine. I can't inspect the parts so I can't tell you what broke, but that's the only way you can lose all gears, unless the transfer case is the problem. If it is the transfer case it won't hold in park, and you said that it does. I'm lost here, I have nothing else to add.

I had one do this. And it had a stuck pressure relief valve in the pump. No fluid pressure at the test port.

Eureka I found it it was a stripped out torque converter it felt fine but I put my drill to it to get more torque on it and wallah it was stripped I drained fluid from converter and looked inside with flashlight and found that it was indeed stripped
