Default 89 240sx automatic won't shift/stuck in gear

ive got a 89sx that was delivered to me via tow dolly last night. It seems to be stuck in gear or something. park it's fine. but once you go into reverse or any of the drive gears it just goes forward. But barely, its near stalling in idle and when you rev it basically it inches forward like you have the E brake on. It does that in any of the gears. I checked fluid and seems to be fine. I'm confused.

how far was it towed ? on automatics you can tow with the back tires on the ground and spinning without the car running or disconnecting the driveshaft. if you tow it like that, the insides of the trans are all still turning but the front pump isnt working so it will overheat

Pump is shot, possible other internal damage. R&R it.
