I took the car out of the garage for the first time since last December and after a block and a stop sign I had nothing. It would not get out of first and I barely made it back inside the garage.I had driven it all last summer with no problems at all.I was able to coast in neutral and rev the engine so I would think it's not brakes or a fuel problem.I have an idea that it might be the tv cable.

Good morning,

I would start by changing the fluid and filter in the transmission. The filter may be clogged with debris.

Do that and see if it is any better. If not get back to me.
