Okay, so I have the car listed above that is the GT model. It will not move if I put it in reverse or drive but it acts as if it wants to move if I manually put it into first gear. I can shift into second gear but I cannot shift to the rest. I have changed my transmission fluid and filter and filled it to the right level and still nothing. What do you think the problem is ?

Sounds like either the pressure control B solenoid or internal damage. It will take a transmission capable scan tool and pressure testing to be sure of which one.

I would have it scanned and tested. It could be as simple as replacing a couple solenoids or an electrical harness.
