What is your question?
So today I had my radiator replaced along with the thermostat and its housing. However, I noticed as I was driving it home that it would not shift. When I stopped park it and put it back to drive it would lurch forward rather harshly so I took it to auto zone to check for engine light codes (since my engine light doesn't work) and I got code 731 and 1193. I want to know what happened, what could have cause this problem? and if I should take it back to the mechanic because, after all, I never had this sort of problem until I left the shop today. Thanks!

First, before driving any more , check the trans fluid level. Sounds like possibly a trans cooler line may be leaking (lines go into radiator), and if trans is low on fluid it will act strange and also do damage if driven much. I would suggest calling the mechanic who did the work and ask them what they suggest and if they'll foot the tow bill , _if related to their work_.
sounds like they left some items unplugged. poss iat sensor and poss the tcm connector and maybe also the cooling fan motor. i would call and req them to send a tow trk as these items all could be related to there resnt repair
I drove the car over and dropped it off. I'll call them once they open and let them know about this. I just hope I didn't cause any damage by driving it around. I tried to go really slow and took the main road instead of the highway and even then I could start to smell to like burned coolant.
I have driven it for a few miles testing it and now I just got home and coolant started to spill everywhere. The temperature gauge wasn't even indicating it was overheating. I checked the tranny fluid levels and they were fine. UPDATE 10/16: I took it back, a mechanic checked and not only did it have the codes I mentioned it had some additional codes which turned out to prove that one of the RPM input sensors had been unplugged. Now tranny is working normally, again!
Thanks for the response! Glad they fixed it !
