Check the linkage and make sure it is in gear. Do the same thing in low, high and reverse. If the wheels don't move in any selection, it might be the tranny. But most likly the linkage is out of adjustment.

Sounds bad....There are two chains in the transmission and I am going to guess you have broken the one that powers the rear tires...As for the cost....A friend of mine tore up the gear for the front output on his 99 SP500 pulling a car in reverse....Cost him $500 to have it fixed and I removed and intalled the transmission for him...Good luck

BTW
What was you doin when you lost power to the rear wheels???
