It sounds like your in fail safe mode which means your taking off it 2nd gear instead of first and then you will stay in 2nd gear.Its to protect the transmission if there is a problem.Most likely its a pressure issue inside the transmission.We will have to measure the fluid pressure at different points to start but before we do that i would like to see what codes are in the computer.

So where was the leak?How many quarts did it take to fill it to full?If it was driven around with no fluid you could have burned up the clutches in the transmission.

I don't remember cause when I bought I had replaced a tension pulley but other than that the transmission doesn't feel right

I would see what codes it has and then pressures then go from there.
