Ok so when i start my car. and pull into D. a 1 Appears. kinda like I'm driving stick. well thats kinda weird to me and all. but then again. not long I've been driving 8's. so as I'm driving It seems to be having problems shifting. and then. The AT Light comes on. once that happens and i come to a full stop the TCS light come and the 1 Disappears. and the engine feels like its stuck in a high gear. (Safe mode) takes off slow. but picks up speed soon. as it reaches its gear. any idea whats going on?
