I have a 08 RR supercharged the trans will not engage in any gear did a service change the oil and did filter change and even taken the modules down and replace the rubber and plastic seals on top.

Still after refill and cycling through the gears and topping it off. Won't drive in any gear forward or reverse and goes into park hard and sometimes grinds.

Any ideas.

Did it not go into drive or reverse before you did the oil and filter change (I'm assuming you mean transmission fluid and filter change)? You took the valve body down to replace the bridge seals and tube seals? Are you 100% sure you refitted the gear selector back into the mechatronics unit correctly when putting the valve body back up? Theres a ring on the gear selector shaft inside the transmission that has to get reengaged with the slide unit on the mechatronics unit. If you don't then the transmission doesn't know if its in park, neutral, forward or reverse. Theres a ton of other threads with people who have managed this feat. They have the images of the mechatronics and the ring on the selector shaft. If its that you have to pull the pan down again and get the mechatronics attached correctly.

It's not that I made sure that all the seals both bridge and tubs have been replaced.

The selector Is in like with mechanical shift rod.

Yes before the trans oil change it was not shifting or going into gear.

Then definately check all of your CV joints, front and rear, my favorite is front right axle at the differential, that seems to be the one that does it most often. with all 4 wheels off the ground try to spin each wheel by hand. If one spins by hand but none of the others do, look at the CVs joints for that wheel first. Sometimes if you have all 4 wheels off the ground you can start the engine, put it in drive and crawl under to see if one driveshaft or the other (front or rear) is spinning. If one is spinning and one isn't the issue is with a CV or differential on the spinning driveshaft. When putting it back into park put it in N first wait about 30 seconds then pop it into P. The grinding you here is most likely youre transmission parking pawl trying to catch on one of the output shaft's gear teeth while the shaft is still spinning. Also try cycling the 4WD High/Low switch from high to low, listen to the gear to clunk over from one ratio to the other, and make sure there is NOT a fuse in slot 37 in the fuse panel in the glove box. Be careful with a broken CV joint, or a bad output shaft the entire vehicle can roll in park, use the parking brake or wedge the wheels if its not up on stands.

Sorry for the late replays.

So here's and update I got everything back off ground today and was able to run through the gears and the tires spun in reverse and drive once on ground still would not drive fully. Check cv axles and they are all in correctly and no slop.

I then finally got some error messages on dash and pulled the codes

U0248 lost communication with remote driver utility module

U0101-87 lost communication with TCM

U0402-00 INVALID received from TCM

U0101-00LOST COMMUNICATION WITH TCM

C1A00-54 control module

P0501-00

U0155-87 lost communication with ICCM

Now what's next I check my wires and connections and everything is back and connected. Erased codes and they all came back.

I'm lost now

Your CAN BUS network is not connected through to your TCM, or the TCM module is toast. Check the connector (see ZF6HP26 TCM repair on youtube) Gary Ferraro

So I ccheck the wires and it seems to be plugged in correctly I will get my camera and see if anything is bent or broken. But seems to be all together correctly. Might have to drain the oil again and then drop pan all over again ugh

When you lifted it & the wheel s rotated as expected, did you check to see if there was any force in the rotation? Or were they just spinning but could be stopped by hand?
And when it's on the ground and in park, are you sure that it can't roll freely when pushed - as if it were in neutral?

When I had it on the ground I have to rev the engine really high to get it to move 2 inches. Before starting to work on fluid change it would move forward by hand as if it was in neutral but now I can't move it by hand. When I had the wheel of the ground they only spun when I had it in reverse or drive and let off the break and if I tap the gas.

Checked with my cam and everything is plugging in correctly nothing is bent and the seals aligning. I'm stuck do I need new tcm or could it be something else solenoid or anything

Your transmission is designed to provide a limp-home function, even if all the electronics are toast. It achieves this through the shift lever mechanically moving the manual valve in the Mechatronic unit to direct hydraulic pressure to the A & B clutches (3rd gear), B & E clutches (5th gear) or B & D clutches (Reverse), even if there’s no electrical supply whatsoever to the transmission. The fact that the vehicle won’t move has nothing to do with the TCM or any other electrical/electronic component. You have a mechanical/hydraulic problem. There’s only so much you can learn through error codes. The control system development engineers (obviously) never foresaw that the transmission would fail, for example, through the output shaft spline failing due to fretting corrosion, so there is no DTC for a failure such as this.

Thank you for the reply so basically to transmission shop it will have to go. Ugh was hoping want that answer
