Car starts well no issues, as soon as you shift to R or D, car automatically shuts out. Also when ignition is on acc, by manually shifting to D, D appears along side with 3. related DTC p0755, p0760 and p0765.

Hello, there is a technical service bulletin on this issue. The reason the vehicle is shutting down, I believe is it's going into failsafe mode. Considering codes for solenoids that are located inside the transaxle very close to each other, it sounds like you may have a wiring issue affecting all 3 solenoids. The bulletin refers to a short to ground inside the transaxle. The transaxle oil pan must be dropped to inspect the wiring harness inside. It's highly doubtful that all 3 solenoids went bad at once. So depending on how comfortable you are in taking the pan down to check the harness. To start with you might try just checking the wiring going into the transaxle, like the harness plug on the transaxle for damages. But the bulletin refers to the inside wiring being the issue. There is an arrow pointing to the spot to be inspected on the diagram below. If the vehicle is still under warranty which unfortunately I doubt due to its age, but you do have low mileage. But inspect all the wiring around the transaxle and that area before taking the transaxle apart. Since it is a technical service bulletin, the dealership may be required to repair this problem. I hope they do for you really.

The issue was actually the harness connection to the gear box pc, it was so badly broken and it was not losing contact. I had controlled the A/T Relay i was all good, fuses in good condition, I also had tested the solenoids inside the gear box, they all had good resistance.
So i had to come back on the harness socket and realized some physical damages.
