Upon start up, I can NOT shift into any gear including reverse. HOWEVER, I CAN put into gear before starting. Reverse GRINDS badly when I try and put into. Hoping its not the whole transmission!!! Any ideas??? Before this happened there was a thumping noise when transmission was in reverse.
SOURCE: Transmission wont shift into reverse
By the grayish color, fluid being thick, and metal shavings, the clutches are pretty much worn out. It's time to either rebuilding your transmission or just installing a good used one. The fluid normally should be a reddish color. The gray is from the actual clutch material going away.
SOURCE: when transmission is placed in reverse the engine dies
make sure the transmission fluid is full. Pump cavitation due to low fluid levels can cause engine stalling.

you have to be careful that it is not the safety neutral switch.since stall means different things to different people,it is hard to tell exactly what is the issue.if the safety neutral switch,which is wired to the start and ignition circuits is bad,it could kill the engine.
jack up the vehicle and look for bad or shorted wires or connectors before doing anything else.
the other thing is how it behaves with no load on it. put a floor jack under the rear differential and raise it just enough for the wheels to be off the ground a couple inches.put it into reverse with no load and see if the wheels turn in 2wd mode.
SOURCE: noisy shifting
I'm wondering if what you are hearing is the driveshaft universal joints. If they are worn they will 'clunk' every time you put the vehicle in gear. Block all wheels to check, put vehicle in neutral, NOT running, crawl under and move the driveshaft back and forth while watching the front then rear u-joint. It should be obvious if there is 'slop' or 'play' in them, which would indicate they need to be replaced.
Testimonial: "thanks for the response. i will follow your advice "
It
can be issue with gears or problem with transmission and needs to be rebuilt.
Also get the ****** fluid checked. If it's low, then such problems
occurs.

Thanks.
The
shifter needs to be inspected. If The
shifter assembly is got misaligned, it has to be open and realign.
There
are many other possibilities.
