It is difficult to understand what your problem is exactly. It sounds to me as if your transmission has failed. I have replaced mine twice on my car in the last 100,000 miles of service (225,000 total). The good news is that they are common transmissions, made by GM surprisingly, and they can be rebuilt for not too much money. At least here in the States, I cannot say about Beirut. Hope this helps.
