You may notice that the gears slip or slam when they are shifting and that they tend to shift late or early. Basically when You would expect them to they won't, and when they do it won't sound right. There can also be a grinding sound coming from the hood of the car, which is the sound of the gears rubbing on each other. If You leave the car parked for a period of time You might find a puddle of transmission fluid under it, due to a line leak. Finally, the car simply may not drive at all as the transmission has seized up and ruined the car.

If it does not slip in first, or 2nd, and just plain will not go into 3rd, It will most likely be a bad/stuck solenoid in the transmission.
