The biggest problem with this box is the engine having too many revs. If the engine is perfect in N but is killing it in D then try this. With engine running move selector out of N towards a drive position without it actually going into drive. Its a bit tricky but if the revs climb up over a thousand then it's the same as dropping the clutch on a manual and will try and stall it. If it takes up drive no problem but will not accelerate then its possible the box is stuck in high ratio.

Does it rev in gear without the car moving? check auto transmission fluid!
