What is meant by transmission engagement? How do you tell when a transmission is engaged? Will the car move slightly or make a sound like a motor is spinning?

First of all thank you so much for your donation.I'm trying to figure out what your question/problem is?If your talking about how do you tell when you put it in drive if the transmission is engaging?Then you could feel it engage when you put it in drive. Do you think your transmission is slipping while driving?

When engaged in gear by shift handle selector the car should respond to the gas pedal push by moving and not just the motor spinning freely. Check fluid level in trans and check that shift linkage/cable is functioning to move transmission arm into gear.
