I bought this car drove it a short distance a couple days. I put some transmission fluid in it because it was leaking from the radiator. I fixed that then check the fluid to make sure I didn't put to much in. Now as soon as I put it in drive it stalls. It idles fine and goes in reverse fine just not drive, it stalls.

Hello,

Was the radiator cooler leaking inside the radiator? This can be problematic because when you shut the engine off the line pressure inside the transmission stop but the pressure inside the radiator remains causing coolant to enter the transmission. I need to see how the engine stalls. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.
