The first thing to check will be the fluid level. Then I would look at the gear selector cable. here are instructions on how to do both in the images below.
Checking
With the car on level ground, pull the transmission dipstick and check the level of fluid immediately after the engine is shut off (within one minute). The fluid level should be between the full and low marks. Push the dipstick all the way in to check the fluid level. If the level is at, or below, the low mark, add DEXRON-II type automatic transmission fluid.
Changing
1. Bring the transmission up to operating temperature by driving the car. Park the car on level ground, turn the engine off, then remove drain plug.
2. Reinstall the drain plug with a new washer, then refill the transmission to the full mark on the dipstick.
Automatic transmission Capacity:
2.4 (2.5 U.S. qts, 2.1 Imp. qt) at change, 5.4 (5.7 U.S. qts. 4.8 Imp. qt) after overhaul.
