What causes teens to not to use English grammar rules? "it starts?" What is that? Where is the punctuation mark. This site does not charge for words nor spaces. I wonder why the lack of more explanation. Let me ask you this. What causes a transmission, not the car, to shift its gears from whatever to whatever? Manual transmissions have a clutch that operates a level that moves a part of the system so as to allow the selection of whatever gear is wanted or needed. Automatic transmissions are of incredibly complex engineering. Incredibly complex. If you wish to learn how transmission are made or their parts or assembly please either use Google or go to mechanic's school. It is more practical and economical to engage the services of a mechanic that can test, evaluate, etc. this transmission and using his knowledge and experience can made a determination, tell you and also give you what is known in the trade as an estimate for repair or as to replacement of this faulty device.

Maybe theres something wrong with the gears..something could be stuck in it..go have it checked out..

Most times it is the shift lock. Look in the owners manual to find out how to override it. That will get you going but by all means fix it.
