Dude thank you so much. I got the trans fluid flushed out with new stuff and it does feel a lot better now, still having the same issue though. I was having trouble with the other video I was watching and trying to get it aligned but now I can take care of this tonight! You’re awesome dude thanks so much for all of your help!

got everything aligned. Now the car doesn’t wanna go into second and first gear is also reverse. No problems with any other gears

That sounds like it’s not aligned good then. How did you lock the shifter in place in the car to align it?

Since this a 2015 model check the cables ends for worn bushings, check the shifter for worn bushings also that allow slop and check the plastic shifter cable bracket.
