Test the neutral switch.

===

Foot on brake

MOVE SHIFTER BACK FROM PARK AND NEUTRAL 10-20 times. This will re-new the metal contacts.

Shift to netural "N"

Start engine

Put lever back to Park "P" to warm up the truck.

====

If it start from neutral and not park then you will need a neutral safety switch.

2001Chevrolet van will not start no juice gettinto modular

it could be that your transmission linkage cable between your cabin gear select/shifter and your transmission has become disconnected.

another cause of sticking in a gear would be a torque converter (basically, the "clutch" of an auto transmission) gone bad. first step to check on the transmission physical health is to check the tranny fluid. it should be a very bright, transparent red- free of smell. if it is crimson, dark, or opaque, and/or smells almost "fishy", change the fluid immediately, and dont expect the transmission to hold out for too much longer, if the fluid has that smell and/or is full of metallic specs.

if you have a lot of miles on the vehicle, you may want to have a shop change the automatic transmission fluid anyway, and check for any metal shavings in the drained fluid.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!
You don't need to replace the whole transmission. I suspect that you have a faulty torque converter. If the torque converter is faulty the shifting of the car becomes sluggish. Torque converter and transmission fluid replacement is surely necessary.
Hope you find this information helpful enough and thank you for using Fixya! Have a good one!

Band broke inside my transmission, do I replace the transmission?

Unless you are an expert at rebuilding transmissions this is a job you might want to leave to a professional. Once you start to take apart a tranny the odd are when you are done you will have a lot of parts that you dont remember where they went.
