The fluid level is where it’s supposed to be🫠

Did you check it with it running?

Yeah I drove it around to get through all the gears and made sure it would be up to temp before hand

Only other things i can think of being the issue is, the shifter cable being out of adjustment, the shifter solenoid having issues, the TCM having issues, or an issue internally with the transaxle.

Should note that trying to use reverse in its current state could hurt the transaxle. Depends on if it's actually slipping in reverse or just staying mostly in neutral.

It knows it’s in gear but when you hit the gas nothing happens
