2 weeks ago I had an accident, some girl hit my car from the back.
I picked up my car from body shop 3 days ago and yesterday I found that my car is working different than usually.
When I'm changing from Park to Drive or Revers to Drive it take like 2-3 sec to move my car even if I'm pressing the gas pedal. I never had that before.
And its only when I put D and I'm trying to move. Theres no problem with a Reverse.
Its Sunday I don't know can I drive it or what should I do ??

We can't diagnose this over a computer, but one thing you can check yourself is the transmission fluid level. If it is low, it can take longer for the pump to draw up enough fluid to engage the clutch packs. Contact the body shop right away that did the work. They should work with you and your insurance company to determine if this is related to the crash. If you wait too long they are going to rightfully assume this is a new and unrelated problem, assuming it is a problem, and you'll have to pay for any repairs.
