    Hey guys, so i barely even took my car out of the garage today but i did and it drove perfect, and the second time i took it out it started up fine and then put it in R and all was great. I then backed out of the garage and threw it in D like i always do and its like it went to N, there was nothing. I put it in 3 and again nothing, and then i tried 2 and it goes but shudders and 1 works the same way. Also, if i get some speed up, you can upshift to 3 and it will work as long as you keep speed up..what is with this?

    Do i need a new transmission filter or is it a Torque converter?

    The tranny has never had any issues other than this, it doesnt shift hard even with this problem.

    Also the tranny fluid looks pretty clean, any advise is much appreciated!

    First guess is that the forward bad let go. Putting the gear selector in 1 or 2 will engage the manual 2-1 band, so you'd be able to move, then shift it up to 3 or D since the forward band isn't doing anything once you hit third.
