Galaxy Auto Wont Move When In 'drive'

[lou3714]

I have just bought a galaxy 2.8 ghia x automatic and when I put it in drive it wont go anywhere,just revs and makes a whining sound that makes me think it may be somthing to do with the belts.I have to put it in first to set off then once Im going change into drive.Has anyone got any idea what may be wrong? Thanks

I'm not an expert on Auto Boxes ( nor indeed on manual!!) but this sounds like some form of cable adjustment if it works in the other gears - alternatively it's got a problem on the ECU - a qucik visit to a gearbox specialist seems in o0rder!.
