Hello
The
engine and the automatic transmission in this vehicle are computer
controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is
stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are
exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure
problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done
such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with
a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within
range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is
correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from
a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring
repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very
rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as
mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune
and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical
issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a filed pump or
other pressure related problems.

Possible Problem would be your clutch... If your clutch is Hyrdraulic it's probably your Hydraulic actuator... if so, cost would be less... but it's safer to bring it to an automotive mechanic...

You will need to call a locksmith to avoid serious damage trying to enter the car.
Starting problems
If you turn the key and you hear the starter cranking the engine but the engine will not start than you need to see if you are missing fuel or spark as a first step.
If you turn the key and you can not hear the starter turn the engine over than the first step is to check to make sure there is power on the small wire at the starter with the key in the crank position. If there is power replace the starter. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at
