    Automatic Transmission

    There are two problems, i am not sure if they are related or not 1) car will not shift out of park if on an incline. In order to get it out of park, you must force the shifter. 2) car has problems with initial acceleration after a stop. Will not go into first gear, transmission will "thump" into gear. Transmission fluid level is adequate
