I have a 2003 Chevy 2500hd 6.6l diesel. All gears and shifting were working fine. Pulled out on highway today and had to get on it. When going through gears I heard it slip up and rev as if it slipped out of gear. I slowed down and got off road. It seemed to be stuck in 3rd gear. I tried putting it into reverse and it would not work. The shifter doesn’t even feel like it’s moving into gear when I move into reverse. When I move shifter to Drive, it sounds very rough and it starts off in 3rd gear. The truck will not shift out of this stuck gear, not even go into reverse. Had to put home slowly in that gear range. Need some help, What’s going on?

This is my first post so far but I'm tired of searching through the Internet for solutions and figured Id make an account. I have a 96 Chevy k1500 200k with a swapped motor 5.7 Vortec that I'm not sure how many miles are on it. I was driving the other day and the truck refused to shift out of second gear. It did a few times but hardly ever. This is the first time that this has happened. It stayed at right around 4-5000 rpms the entire time. About ten minutes from home the temp gauge shot up and ,axed out. I pulled over right away and turned the truck off. Radiator fluid was everywhere. I had buddies come bring me water and follow me home. After getting home I took my radiator off and cleaned it real good. Mind you I just bought this truck off a guy not too long ago. The radiator was full of gunk. I took hoses off and cleaned real good. One has was damn near clogged completely I cleaned it out good and the coolant tank real good. When I start the truck now it leaks like a waterfall out the back of the engine by the passenger side. That is just letting it run without driving it or anything. It leaks coolant out. My question is what would cause my tranny to not wanna shift like that? Do I need a new transmission?? Tranny filter and fluid change??? Or rebuild?? Also do I have a head gasket blown that is leaking coolant real bad??? It's hard to see up in there but that's kinda what it looks like. It leaks real bad. Or could it be a bad water pump??? I'm not a mechanic or even close but I like doing just about anything I can on my own. I have a 20x40 pool barn I do my work in. Any responses would help. I need the truck to haul wood to heat my home. Anything will be useful. Like I said this is my first post on a forum im very new to this, but I could really use some help. Iv checked my hoses and radiator they are fine besides the gunk which I cleaned out but the entire system could probably use multiple flushes. Thanks for any help guys
