Default 740 wagon transmission no shift

I have a 1988 740 wagon w/220,000mi, with transmission issues.
here's the whole story. the wife was driving the car and ran out of gas. She had it towed home, i refilled the gas and jump started it, cause she killed the battery trying to start it, drove it out of the driveway and could barely force it up to 40 mph, the tach revved up, the turbo gauge revved up but no shift. Would really appreciate some help. thanx

Your trans is "slipping". Check the transfluid level. If it's ok, the trans is bad. The other events are coincidental, they could not have caused it.
