Well what happens is as you select drive, it doesn't give the power signal to the solenoid that let the oil flow into first gear. If your first gear works then it is the selector you should worry about, it'd be likely contacts problem, if you are a DIY guy with a detail mind then have a go at taking the shifter off and work it make sure it selects all gears.

Sounds like one-way clutch in transmission is bad. With the slippage noticed also, I would say that it is going to need a replacement transmission.

Turn off car. Turn key to accessory position and put car in neutral to crank car. Get the shift lok solenoid fixed. If the shifter is in the floor it may have a small cover to remove to get to the shift lock release.

Ym oldsmobile cutlass supreme wont start and i put
Worst case or one suggestion might be the timing chain. I bet I get some flack here from pros and dealer techs, but the slow cranking is what I keyed off of. Iam sure the knowledgable olds folks will help you. Also bad battery cables,bad starter or just it's solenoid. Do you feel it is a starter issue as in cranking or no start as won't stay running?
