D is like first gear ,all other ranges work fine. the vehicle has 118,000 miles on it, don't know when last service was,but took the car to ammco transmission and they said nothing was wrong with it except the neutral switch relay needed replaced.bought the car at a auction at a tow yard.

no slamming

i am leaning towards the gear range switch myself. i would take it to a saturn dealership to confirm/repair.
