Hello, you have an electrical issue. The powertrain computer needs inputs to control the transmission shift points. The OSS(output speed sensor ) which reads in MPH on your speedometer. If a connector or wiring is directly exposed to water it affects the signal. It would be best to have a certified mechanic look at the vehicle and determine exactly what is going on.
