Idk, but it's probably why your 3rd and 4th gears don't work...

Is it magnetic?
Is it threaded or have a hole in it anywhere?
It looks like a clip on of some kind... is there a broken surface? Can you take more pictures?
I am wondering if it is part of a bigger piece...

(226) - Wiring Harness Clip
(608) Drive Link Lube Scoop
(804) Manual Shift Detent Assembly

Now we know whats wrong with your trans.... Thats a Broken Band... You need a rebuild... Trans has to be torn down to access the band... so rebuild or replace the trans are the choices...

You'll have to crawl under the passenger side of the car, and up by the differential, where the passenger axle goes into, you'll find the metal tag. It will have one of the 4 codes you just posted on it. Likely the first two. You can check on the spare tire cover under the carpet in the trunk whether you have FQ3 or F83, that's the gear ratio in the diff.

Date: June 04, 2008
Subject:
No Movement When Transmission is Shifted to Drive or Third - Normal Operation When Shifted to Second, First or Reverse (Replace Forward Sprag Assembly)
Models:
1982 - 2005 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks
2006 - 2007 Buick Rainier
2006 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT
2006 Chevrolet SSR

with 4L60, 4L60E, 4L65E or 4L70E Automatic Transmission (RPOs MD8, M30, M32, M33 or M70)
Condition
Some customers may comment that the vehicle has no movement when the transmission is shifted to DRIVE or THIRD position, but there is normal operation when it is shifted to SECOND, FIRST or REVERSE position.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a damaged forward sprag assembly (642).
Correction
When inspecting the sprag, it is important to test the sprag for proper operation by holding the outer race (644) with one hand while rotating the input sun gear (640) with the other hand. The sun gear should rotate only in the counterclockwise direction with the input sun gear facing upward. If the sprag rotates in both directions or will not rotate in either direction, the sprag elements should be inspected by removing one of the sprag assembly retaining rings (643). Refer to SI Unit Repair section for forward clutch sprag disassembly procedures.
If the sprag is found to be damaged, make repairs to the transmission as necessary. A new forward roller clutch sprag assembly is now available from GMSPO.
If clutch debris is found, it is also very important to inspect the Pressure Control (PC) solenoid valve (377) fluid screens. Clean or replace the PC solenoid (377) as necessary. It is also important to flush and flow check the transmission oil cooler using J45096. Refer to SI Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flushing and Flow Test for the procedure.
The notches above each sprag must point up as shown when assembled into the outer race.

The following information applies when this sprag is used in 1982-86 transmissions.
The new design sprag can be used on models 1982 through 1986, by replacing the entire assembly (637 - 644). Individual components are NOT interchangeable.
Important: The wear plate (640) and input thrust washer (660) are not required with the new sprag. Use of the thrust washer and wear plate with the new sprag assembly will cause a misbuild (correct end play cannot be obtained).

(THATS WHAT MINE DID)
This condition may be caused by a damaged forward sprag assembly (642).
(FOR ALL I KNEW THE SPRAG COULD VE BEEN PART OF THE BAND )
SO ASSUMING THIS INFO WAS ABOUT MY CAR ITS NOT TOO FAR FETCHED TO SEE HOW I GOT TOO THAT CONCLUSION, BUT WHY I STAYED THERE WAS JUST STUPIDITY......LOL

Wish you the best with the replacement... Make sure after you remove the trans you flush out the heat exchanger in the radiator...
