So when I first start the car, and go to put it in gear, anything between first and L2 it acts like it is in neutral, it makes the sound like it shifted into gear but very quietly, and if I really revv up the car it moves but BARELY, like I have the parking brake on almost you know? Sometimes if I leave it running for a few minutes it is fine, or if I shift it into the L1 gear it will sometimes pop into full gear and then it is fine to go to reverse, drive, etc. I dont know much about cars, my friend told me there is an automatic transmission additive I can get that may help, and to start there, but I just wanted to get some ideas and see if it is obviously something that is easily repaired.

Oh also once it is into drive, when I pull up to stop signs or lights, sometimes it will come out of gear and act like its neutral again, but then it pops right back into gear, almost like the gears cant keep hold of eachother is my best guess, but like I said i know nothing about cars, so thats just how it feels to me.
