It sounds like the shift cable has either come loose or pulled apart. It's much easier to check with two people. Chock the wheels so it cannot move. Have a friend move the shifter and check that the linkage under the vehicle is moving as the shifter is operated. There are some YouTube videos that can help with diagnosis and replacement

Could be a CV (Constant Velocity) joint, but they usually show as clicking noise when turning at the limits. Possible bad engine/transaxle mounts or bad modulator valve or leaking / disconnected vacuum line to same or manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor. If the transmission is computer controlled, the computer replaces the modulator valve which controls when & how firmly or gently gear changes are made... and, of course, it could just be good old-fashioned wear & tear. A tranny fluid/filter service sometimes works wonders in this area also.
As always, a reputable automotive tech is your best source of what's happening with your problem. Good luck!
SOURCE: my transmission wont shift out of first gear
Hi. If your Trans doesn't shift it's because you need to refurbish it. The gears are not moving, even if they are receiving enough centrifugal force to shift.It's an automatic transmission, but the clutches suffer wear and tear. Yes, that's right. An automatic transmission also possess these, only a fewer more than a manual trans. For this car, It shouldn't cost no more than $600 to fix it at a transmission shop. After that, you make your periodical 30,000mi checks, and you'll have transmission for at least 100,000mi more.

Sorry to say sir but running out of fluid/ transmission oil will definitely fry your tranny.
SOURCE: where is my transmission fluid go?
It sounds like you have a tranny leak. When fluid is low, you will have difficulty shifting or maintaining the gear while driving. As far as where the leak is coming from, it is hard to say just from the post, it would have to be seen to determine exactly where you are leaking from. One possibility is the seal where the input shaft goes into the transmission case. This would require the removal of the transmission in order to replace the seal.
