Q: Transmission

asked by on June 11, 2016

I just changed tranny fluid 3 months ago. Haven't driven a great deal but a few days ago I took it out and I notice it didn't want to shift gears. Don't think it even went to second but for sure not 3rd or fourth. It also shifts hard into gears when I move Manually into reverse and D. What can be my problem? Thanks!
