Hubby changed oil, but it wont start. he thinks he might have changed the transmission oil instead. what can we do? will it be expensive to get the valve?

If he doesnt know the difference between engine oil and transmission fluid, he should probably avoid changing any more fluids.
He should be able to check the transmission fluid level and oil level to make sure both are correct. If there is engine oil in the transmission then it needs to be drained before you run it. Fill with trans fluid and drain again. Then fill with fluid and hope for the best.
I would start by checking all fluids to be correct and at proper levels.
I'm not sure what you mean about "the valve".

Nissan mistral 1996 auto. Had full oil change on engine and gearbox, now gearbox only stays in first gear

This may just be a low fluid level or wrong fluid , i doubt the wrong fluid would cause this condition so fast but make sure the fluid is full and if it is and all connections are on and nothing was knocked off then i would say the new fluid may have washed away build up or dirty is flowing in ****** and know something is the valve body is stuck,
The problem with some of these shop, mostly the quick lube shops is that a transmission should be flushed not drained and refilled, the problem with the drain and fill is that you never get all the old oil out. there is oil in the lines and cooler and in converter. what happens is the new oil detergents mix with the old oil and cause the drit in the oil to flow into valve body and pump and after time cause a problem, this happened so fast that i would check the level and make sure that all connections are on and nothing got knocked off. otherwise it sounds like you may need a rebuild on this transmission.how many miles on this car? Good day.

HOW DO U CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID

with car running in park and warm remove the oil dip stick tube and check the fluid level remove the fluid with an old rag or a paper towel then stick it back in, pull out again and hold perpendicular to the ground so the fluid will not run up or down the stick, turn it so you can see the fluid level. if it is full your OK also look at the fluid, if it's brownish color and smells like burnt onions yo need to have the filter and fluid changed or you will damage the transmission. A transmission fluid and filter change costs about $150.00 average and also have them to add Lucas Transmission oil treatment so it will condition the bands clutch packs and seals, most cars need the fluid changed every 30,000 miles to make the transmission last the lifetime of the car. This is the most overlooked service on automobiles besides doing a routine tuneup.

Hard shifting

Are you sure that it is oil and not transmission fluid? The stains can look similar unless you actually get down and touch the fluid. If it is reddish in color then it is transmission fluid, which means you have a leak somewhere in the transmission. Either way, check your transmission fluid level and make sure it is not low. If it is is low, add some fluid and bring it to a transmission specialist to help diagnose and correct the problem.

Why does my trans slip at cruising speed, but takes off fine?

Please check your transmission fluid level after your truck has warmed up. The oil on the transmission stick should be red in color and not brown. The fluid on the transmission stick should be near the full level or at the full level when the engine is hot. You may need to have your transmission fluid changed along with a new tranmission screen in the transmission pan. Let me know if you will be doing the change of the tranmission fluid yourself or not. If you are I will be glad to outline step by step on how to do it.
