androodge,
sounds like you didn't do anything wrong but not to check the fluid level. it takes more fluid to put the vehicle in drive range than in reverse. as most drivers, the first reaction is to panic. check the obvious. check the fluid level first. on a relatively flat surface, park the vehicle with the engine running and shift to ALL gear positions at about tow seconds each gear with the service and the park brakes applied. then place the shift select lever back to park (P). now pull the transmission dipstick and wipe clean with a lint free cloth. reinsert the dipstick into the dipstick tube. pull the dipstick out and check the fluid level. the dipstick is idiot proof. if you are able to read this, you can read the dipstick
