When it happened to me, it was major trans failure

When I tried to get the car into first, it would jump out of gear, jerk around and not go anywhere. 2nd worked, so I took off in second. 3rd and 4th were really noisy. Got home and tried to back into the drive -- seemed OK at first, until I pushed in on the clutch. When I clutched, the car would jerk to a halt. The car would also jerk to a halt if I went over about 3 mph in reverse.
Additionally, the clutch pedal felt 'normal' except that I couldn't get the car OUT of first easily. Maybe the reverse of your issue?
Pinion failure, ring had dropped, needed new differential. Got the tranny rebuilt by the saabshop dot com guys when they pulled it. Around $2000 minimum, $2700 with engine seals and alternator bushings.
Bummer.
Hope that yours is a clutch issue.
