2017 Tahoe LT not shifting into drive

[rub_dirt_on_it]

Hey everyone, looking for some help about my car. This just started happening about an hour ago, and my car had been working just fine beforehand. When I shift into drive, my car still acts like it’s in neutral. The engine revs when I hit the gas, but it won’t go anywhere. Park, reverse, and low all work. Anyone have any ideas or seen similar issues?

Editing to add that I am at 95K miles, and I am not due for an oil change for another 2,000 miles.

How is the transmission fluid level and condition?

How is the transmission fluid level and condition?

This will probably be a dumb question, but do I need to do a hot or cold check? Or just pull it straight out?

No question is dumb. There are "hot" and "cold" marks on the dipstick. Cold fluid expands as it heats up so it will be higher on the dipstick when hot. The best reading is a hot one, but if a cold reading is in the "cold" range, then the level should be okay.

I’m a novice at this one. Will YouTube it and find out

Your owner's manual should have the procedures for checking fluids.

If it is the transmission fluid, any recommendations on what brand to buy?

Transmission fluid is completely fine, any other ideas?

Transmission fluid is completely fine, any other ideas?

The level is fine? The color is fine? Does it smell burnt?

When was the last time you had the transmission serviced?

Level and color are all perfect with no burnt smells. I haven’t had it serviced that I can think of.
