I put all new solenoids in for transmission. And the car is doing same thing it’s just staying in drive. Is there anything I have to do for them to start working?

Welcome to 2CarPros.

When you say it only stays in drive, when it is in park or reverse, does it feel like the transmission is fighting itself? If it is in neutral, does it still move?

As far as a relearn, there isn't one. Also, I assume the shift linkage is properly attached.

Let me know.

When I put it in drive it doesn’t hit first and second it just stays and stays in drive, but if I change gears manually they all work.

Welcome back:

Is the check engine light on? Is the trans fluid clean and full?
