Default Is it oil or my TCU???

Okay so

i driving up to a entrance gate at my apt

my keycard didn't work so i put my car in park and ran inside to get my roomates key

i come back, put the car in drive

and it would not move, it sounded like it was struggling, so i had to put it in neutral and push it to the nearest parking spot

my tcu has been giving me problems for the past 2 months (i can't afford to buy a tcu at the moment) it takes a while to shift into first and second gear

but my oil light has been flickering off and on, which i don't understand because i just put 2 quarts in it about 3 weeks ago

i know i probably need both

but what do ya'll think is the problem

update: okay so i went back to the parking lot to see if it would drive

and it did

so i brought it back to my parking area

i still don't want to drive it anywhere, since i don't want to risk it

this is the automatic these ones are prone to have tranny probs. have you put a diegnostic test on it. but 9 times out of 10 is the tranny cump. will go out it gets hot then fries out then go to a safty mode and will not move till it cools.

You'd be better off taking it to a Mitsubishi dealer. Most dodge mechanics don't know much about Mitsu's.
