Check fluid in neutral, fill appropriately. Throttle position sensor will cause that shifting issue. Easy cheap fix

Well I'm not sure what happened unless the connection broke when you replaced it. Coul have been a faulty part from the parts store. Weird I've changed those many times with success. I buy and sell these
