not if there is too much fluid! I just got done changing my trans filter and valve body I put it back together added 3 quarts and it wouldn't even go in gear at all. I added 4 more and it started shifting. So the proper amount of fluid is important either to low or too high can cause shifting problems. This is just a start might not be the problem but a point to start and look

Yes it should still go into Park or neutral.

You will have to do more looking.
It may just be a coincidence.
