Default C4 Transmission Problems

Just changed the filter and fluid, drove about a mile, stopped and would not go forward, reverse is fine.
Any Ideals?
Thanks and have a Great Day,

Recheck the fluid level. Also be sure that you did not tighten the filter bolts too tight. Did you drain the torque converter? Did you mess with the valve body bolts at all? When you say that it will not go forward, does it seem like the clutches are slipping or it just will not go into gear?

THANKS FOR THE INFO, DAVID.
FLUID LEVEL IS FINE, FILTER NOT OVER-TIGHTENED, NO OVER ADJUSTMENTS.
JUST DROVE ABOUT A MILE AND TRANNY STARTED SLIPPING
AND STOPPED?
THANKS AGAIN
I WILL PROBABLY DROP THE PAN AGAIN AND CHECK OUT THE VALVE
BODY.

I have exactly same problem. I changed fluid and filter and drive less than half mile just to test that all the gears were working and everything was fine. All the gears worked and there seem to be no problem.

After that I worked on brakes and power steering etc. for few days. Now I was trying to take a test drive, but the car won't go forward. Reverse is working fine. When I try to put it on D, 2 or 1 it starts to make noise and won't go forward. When I put it on 1 and waited long enough it moves forward just enough so that managed to drive it back to garage but it feels like the whole car was shaking and the transmission made a loud noise.

Could the valves be stuck on valve body and if that is the case, how can I fix it? I don't know much about automatic transmissions...

Thanks.
