Transmission will not shift in drive but will manually

Hi guys,

Having a problem with my car at the moment. Have noticed that when I select drive it feels as if it is starting in second gear it takes about 2,000 to 3,000 rpm's for the car to start moving. And on the instrument cluster the light that shows what gear you select does not light around the "D".
Manually going through the gears by selecting first and second are fine and smooth. The problem only happens when selecting "D".

Any help would be appreciated.
Check engine light has not come on. Did a check for codes by shorting pins on diagnosis port. No codes.
