I have a Buick Park Avenue, and for a while the Transmission has had trouble shifting into first gear when first shifting into drive, and also when first shifting into reverse. At times, I can wait and the transmission will eventually kick into the selected gear, but other times, I need to put the car back into park or in neutral and try it again. This problem also occurs randomly when I am slowing down or come to a complete stop. I can put the car back into neutral and into drive and it will kick back into gear, but I'm not sure if this is a problem that will get worse resulting in complete transmission failure.
Is this a problem that is easily fixed, or is it something that is going to cost more than the vehicle is possible worth?

If the trans.oil is dark brown in color and smell's burnt your tranny is probably on it's last leg.If tou have bad pump pressure or low oil you will have to rev the eng to get it to build enough pressure to move.Your detent cable or kick down cable is for passing,when you step on the gas when passing someone this cable is pulled causing the trans. to go into a lower gear and when you let off the gas it should shift back into a higher gear.if it's out of adjustment it will kickdown to soon or to late.If your car has alot of miles it may be in need of a filter and fluid change,but usually when slipping occures its to late and you will need a replacement tranny.Hope this was helpfull.
