Start by checking your transmission fluid level. Then for color and smell.

There's a computer that controls the transmission. Try this trick. It couldn't hurt. Unhook the battery for about a half hour. That will reset the computer. I hope that works.

It should. But to be sure ask the guy at the parts place to cross reference it for you. That way there's no question.
