Changed fluid and filter in the transmission. After I finished I took the vehicle for a test drive and the vehicle wont shift in high gear.I tried to shift it manually and still wouldn't shift to drive.I get to 35 mph and the vehicle does not shift.

Good evening,

Did you have this issue prior to the fluid change?

Not good.

I would replace the fluid several times to get rid of the bad fluid.
