VerifiedWelcome to Just Answer, I'm Chris (aka-Moose). I've been an independent contractor here for 13 years, and have gotten pretty good at diagnosis & repair sight unseen. However, I'm not good at sympathy through a keyboard. I do care about you, your vehicle's issues, and the funds you're spending, just not good at showing it. Sometimes I respond above your skill level, am to blunt or rough around the edges, just let me know so I can help you best to your and my ability. I am most often online central time 11-3 midday and 8-3 at night.
I assume you had transmission codes and those are now gone after your repairs. Have you done anything for these other codes?
Are you saying you slow down to a red light then take off and it is not in 1st gear?
No engagement in drive 1st gear would be a concern with the shift linkage out of adjustment, the range sensor not telling the ECM the correct gear selected, or a valve body issue. This should not be a solenoid issue and a solenoid issue would store a transaxle code. The more common repair is to rebuild the valve body.
If any part of my first answer is confusing or needing more detail. Please let me know so I can help more. I want you to receive a 5-star excellent experience and rate as such. Thanks for letting me assist you, Chris.
