Transmission when i accellerate it goes into 2nd gear and will not go back into drive untill i turn the engine off and restart

Has the Transmission control module been tested for fault codes? this is an electronically shifted transmission. So the 1st step in finding out if this is a transmission mechanical issue or a shift solenoid problem it to have the fault code test run and have a trained technican drive the car. Aamco Transmission repair centers will do the test for FREE.

Hello gregory, this sounds like a possible pressure sensor switch or solenoid valve switch that has coded the TCM. The valve body will usually set a P1776 code if it is faulty. I would suggest having it scanned with the proper diagnostic equipment to capture pressure readings & faults. From that data a repair path can be determined.
I hope this helps.

The auto governor or the settings in the gear box seems to be faulty as it fails to move the selector. Make sure that the transmission fluids were changed , and that there is no grinding noise. If there is any alignment issue with the selector , it must be reset after checking for PLAY.
If the fault seems to be consistent then the transmission gear box must be removed and checked before it can cause more damage.
