Oh, the car is a 1991 Mitsubishi Galant. The fluid looks fine. I put some Seafoam in it.

The first question should be, what car? Some transmissions are electronically controlled and some are not. For the electronically controlled, if there is a problem with the trans computer it defaults to the highest gear. This might even be as simple as a blown fuse (common in the older Jeep Cherokees).

Check the fluid, hot, with the engine running. Be sure it is on the full mark, but not over full. It should be red, not brown and especially not dark brown. Smell it. It should not smell burnt.
Some car transmissions are controlled by a computer. Older ones have vacuum modules, kick down levers, and bands.
You did not give the year, make, model, but this will help get you to people that are familiar with certain cars.
It could be as simple as an adjustment and it could be much worse. If the fluid is ok. Take it to a shop. Most will advise you for free (mini skirts help here!) or for a minimal charge.
Car problems suck!

In the transmission you have what is called a Governor. This part spins in the tail shaft and changes the flow of fluid according to how fast your vehicle is moving. your Governor might be stuck. With all transmissions there are a lot of things that could be wrong. you need to have it checked by a transmission shop.With it shifting from park to reverse and then to drive I would think the valve body is working fine.

you are able to shop your foot on the gasoline once you shift, in spite of the shown fact that it rather is undesirable for the grab and could provide avery bumpy experience. you % to enable off the gasoline on the comparable value you place the grab in, and come back on the gasoline on the comparable value you enable the grab out. you are able to shop the vehicle in 1st kit at a end as long by way of fact the grab is in. or you are able to placed it in impartial and enable the grab out. it is your selection. Parking placed the ebrake on, and then while the vehicle is became off, placed it into 1st or opposite reckoning on the style you're parked so as that if the brake fails your vehicle won't roll. third is quicker acceleratng than 4th, 4th has a greater precise speed at redline. Stick is greater relaxing, quicker, and gets greater beneficial mileage reckoning on your driving style. Hondas at the instant are not extreme-high quality. Get an previous miata, bmw, rx-7, rx-8, 300zx, wrangler, 240sx, 350z, s2000, audi, or some american muscle. there is an rpm gauge, that is referred to as the tachometer. you are able to shift at any rpm you please, this is why stick is greater beneficial.
