When I put the car in drive you can feel the transmission engage but when you let off the brake and press the gas it will not go anywhere. You can rev the engine and it will start to inch forward. If I cut the engine off then restart then shift to drive it will engage and start to move forward for 30 yards or so then it disengages and start to slow down. I replaced the transmission filter and fluid about 50 miles ago. For a moment a light on the dash will come on and it indicates SRS then the light goes out. Also sometimes it will not shift out of 1st gear but if I stop cut the car off wait a few minutes start it back up put in drive let off the brake start to drive forward it will shift just fine. It's like it gets locked in 1st gear and just will not shift. Please help thanks
Its the electronic shift control located just under the battery ontop the transmission replace or repair will solve the issue
it'll go into drive but once it reaches 1500 rpm it'll drop into neutral as a safety because at this rpm it is being told to shift gear and when it fails to do so it safely goes into neutral
it will go into reverse just fine and park and you can run all the low drive gears until you reach 1500 rpm then it'll cut it off
i pulled mine out re soldered bad components on the board to fix it but im an electronics engineer it may be easier for you to just replace it
Testimonial: "I will try this as you suggested. Thanks for all your help."
I would have to look athe the car to fix it but the srs light is for your airbags

yes but stop after I changed the filter and fluid until now.
Yes so I replaced the filter and fluid about 50 miles ago. It seemed like it fixed the problem until now.
yes
Were these symptoms and problems present before you replaced the tranny fluid and filter?
