Good morning, the vehicle transmission is not shifting from first gear after the CV axle has been replaced, some transmission oil poured out and it was replaced, since then the transmission didn't upshift. There are no codes on its memory. It was functioning completely before the CV axle was replaced. What could be done? Could I have the hydraulic test for the transmission?

Is the speedometer working? if not I think you bumped the VSS sensor wiring, here is the location so you can check. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens

Good morning, sir,
The vehicle is not moving from where it is now, the engine keeps flaring up, but the vehicle is not moving. Concerning the speed sensor, is there any way that it could be tested before replacement?

Not really because it could be the valve is off slightly, if you get the part from Amazon you can return it if it does not fix the issue.
