2 SVX's.... 2 Problems....

[~D~I~]

I have 2 94 model svx's. one awd and one fwd. I've encountered 2 problems here. On my awd car their was never anything at all wrong with it. Well the altenator went out on me one day so i had to park the car for a month until i got one shipped to me. after i got it put on and started to drive the car i noticed the tranny wouldn't shift until a high rpm or until 21 miles per hour. now i noticed i don't have second gear. if i'm goin on the interste and try to kick it down into passing gear it like slips to nuetral. i don't understand cause it wasn't like that before i parked it. could it be a speed sensor or was it just time for the tranny to give. i still drive the car. i just bought my fwd svx. it won't start with a key. it has a chapman security system on it with a remote starter. the car will only start like every 20 times with the remote also. it clicks maybe like starter is going out. i don't know if it is meybe the security or the starter? anyone know what any of this could be????
