Thanks for ur kindly response..
I had checked under my car with my best and see nothing unplugged under the car and transmission or damaged...
my cars Speedometer motionless.. Rear, 1st 3rd Gear Shifts.. and it can start drive with 3rd gear..
Which fuses can be reason for that problem?
By the way, as I said under of my car hit a cavity and that happened. iI think its related with that issue :/

This sounds like the vehicle speed sensor is out. Could
be connector damage or harness, or even internal if
you smacked the case with the pavement. If it doesn't
know how fast it's going, it has to make something up.
Whether or not you see it now, it's still messed so dig
until you find it.
VSS is a separate 2-pin connector on the passenger's
side of the tailhousing.

It's working in a limp-home mode, and you can limp
to the tranny shop instead. The only thing to worry
about, is if you are seeing slip / flare. I wouldn't beat
on it.
I still think you want to spend some more time with
the VSS connectors & harness, and maybe save
yourself some coin (or lots of, if you end up at a
shop that likes to sell people transmissions they
don't need).

Yes you are right they usually likes to take money!
Sorry English is not my first language so sometimes I do not understand technical terms.. VSS ?
And I have lifted the car at gas station and see all connectors plugged. I have checked speed sensor connector it looks plugged.. its annoying!

I would get a meter on the sensor pins and check to see if your seeing the pulses created by the sensor. The sensor is a basic pulse generator. This way you will be able to verify if the sensor is ok. From there you will need to get a schematic for your vehicles wiring. Check the wiring from the sensor connector to computer VSS signal pins. I am not really familiar with the vehicle wiring or its modules but this is a place for you to start. Vince
