Hi,

You indicated an overheating issue, charging issue, and transmission issue. Have you confirmed the battery is fully charged? These vehicles rely on specific power voltages to function properly. A very weak battery can cause all kinds of issues.

Also, have you checked for diagnostic trouble codes? If not, I would start with that. Here is a quick video showing how it's done:

I realize not everyone owns a scanner, but often times a parts store will lend one to you. Let me know if you have already had this done and if codes were retrieved.

I will watch for your reply.

Take care,

Joe

I'll put battery charge on start it up. Leaving charger on should operate electric systems. Then I put in gear and see what happens. I will let you know. Thanks.
