Go to the auto parts like autozone and get your codes read first right down the code numbers if you have any. Then have your battery and alternator tested. Let me know what you find.

We still have to check the battery and alternator there's a reason for the slow start and no start your having. Also your transmission is electrically controlled so if you have a problem with your battery or alternator that could affect your transmission. Do you have a multimeter?Let me know.
