When you say underload do you mean you can get it in to gear part of the time?

Have you checked your filters? If not do a mild tune up and change your air and fuel filters.

If you haven't changed your fuel filter it wouldnt hurt anythig, what your friend say sounds like the torque converter lockup switch (not sure it that's what it's called).
It will kill it when you try to drive. That is like popping the clutch with your foot on the brake.
