I'm at a loss here. car was fine for about two years then it developed a skip and a shifting issue where the car would not shift it was stuck in second gear. I fixed the skipping issue and check engine light cleared. now I start the car no check engine light as so as I put the shift selector in drive the light pops on it did not flash just illuminates. I'm lost on what it could be.
