I only do text Did you Check the transmission fluid level?

Just added 2 quarts
Automotive Expert
This is the first thing you need to check. Is the check engine light ON? So the transmission fluid level is OK.

Honestly I'm not sure don't know if my friend knew what he was doing and I'm not sure how to check it
Automotive Expert
here is the direction

Thank u and with me being a female that isn't real sure about this I'll do my best but if the transmission fluid is good then what I had it out on computer once mass air flow and out put speed sensor came up
Automotive Expert
Let's assume the transmission fluid is good. Plug in an OBD2 scanner and see if there is a stored transmission code. If there is no code then the problem is the transmission unit. A replacement transmission will be necessary.

Ok thank you
Automotive Expert
You are welcome.
