Wont be the NSS, that just stops the thing turning over/operates light etc.
Take a gander at the gear linkage on the side of the box, it it getting full travel, could be out of adjustment/slipped etc

Back to the question....... Check the oil, but even if it's got a major electrical fault it should still go into reverse, so it's probably pretty broken. I'd get a local transmission specialist to have a look at it.
