No it all says its in each of the gears I put it in, but when I hit the gas, only RPM'* move, nothing else unless I'm down hill and the car just rolls down.

Ok then it'* one of four things:

1) Low fluid level.
2) Fluid blocked from entering valve body.
3) Front pump needs replacement.
4) Torque converter needs replacement.

I hoping someone else will chime in and comment.

I was just gonna say that I don't know how much confidence you put into your mechanic, but if it were me with the problem and I needed someone to troubleshoot, I would take it to an old time local transmission shop that has been in business since Jesus walked the earth. I don't trust those national chain type outfits. Most of your general mechanics these days will farm out different types of jobs to other shops and just focus on drivability issues anyway.

Glad you got it figured out and fixed! Thanks for letting us know - I've edited the subject name to reflect this.
