Does it go away after a little driving? does it stay on? Do you hear any pulsating while its doing it? Can you give us a little more information?

Get codes read to determine why the abs light is on. Local auto parts store should do it for free..... what do you mean by first gear being really heavy? Please maybe try to explain with more detail your symptoms you are expieriencing.

Sounds like your tranny is slipping. When was the last time the fluid was changed? How does the fluid look on the dipstick?

Who changed the fluid and what fluid did they put in?? What method was used to change it?? They may have ruined your transmission. It's not electrical at all.

Yah your problem does not sound Electrical at All... If you have ABS/VSA(TCS) On when you have your problem, Chances are your Trans is TOASTED.

Without codes all we are doing is guessing. Get the codes read and let us know what they are.
