how long have you had your car? Smells like you need a entire new transmission. Do i smell lemons? Better start reading up in the lemon law.

Well, when I hit the gas the RPM's go up but it won't get into gear (on "D"). I have to shift from 1st like it was manual. That was the first time. Now it's doing the same in reverse, and it strugles when getting in to gear on drive.
