Okay, let us see if we can figure this out.
Its sounds like you were driving and the engine stopped working or engine kept running but transmission stopped pulling the car? and when you shut it down for a while then restarted car the transmission worked good for about 5miles and then stopped pulling. is this correct? if it is then check the transmission fluid and make sure it is full, to check fluid car must be on level ground and engine running and shiftter in park.

If the fluid is full then i would say you have ****** problems and should have it looked at, before it gets worse. good day.

SOURCE: my 200 pontiac bonniville transmission just quit

it wouldn't hurt to have the filter and fluid changed however the rain water may have gotten in a sensor and disabled the transmission then when it dried out it started working again

Red warning light dash

Hi, Seems that the SKIM (Security Key Immobilizer Module). Try locking and unlocking drivers door, sounds like security system was triggered. If unlocking and locking door does nothing locate (ECU) fuse, (Main) fuse, and (IOD) fuse. If so pull fuses turn key to on position do not start, wait 3 to 5 minutes install fuses and try starting. Please also check battery connections for clean and secure.

Why would a 98 grand prix gtp transmission pull just fine for 5 milesthen quit cut off car put in nueatral 5 r 10 secs grank back put in gear pulls like a new 1 same thing over and over please explain

There are many things that can cause this, a bad transmission pump or torque converter, restarting the engine helps it because you are stopping the flow of oil and then restarting it oil starts to flow again and increase pressure as you accelerate ,
Another problem could be in the vanes of the torque converter with the same concept when you shut it down and restart it.

You would need a ****** shop to check pressure and put scan tool on it to watch readings, and last it may be low on fluid or internal leakage causing loss of pressure.

My 4x4 is stuck in four wheel low it is shift on the fly and i have already replaced the transfer case motor

Ok here is a long shot but sometimes it will work. Put the 4wd position switch to 4wd Lo, put your transmission in reverse and back up for about 50 yards, stop and put your transmission in neutral, then shift the 4wd to 4wd hi, wait a few seconds and shift the 4wd to 2wd hi, Sometimes the t-case will get stuck and this is how you reset the computer. I have known people that really got their t-cases messed up because they thought that shift on the go meant that they could shift the t-case into 4wd LO while moving but shift on the go is only for 4wd hi the gears will not mesh up fast enough for 4wd LO because the ratio is 1 to 1 . I hope this helps you.

WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE

Its the electronic shift control located just under the battery ontop the transmission replace or repair will solve the issue

it'll go into drive but once it reaches 1500 rpm it'll drop into neutral as a safety because at this rpm it is being told to shift gear and when it fails to do so it safely goes into neutral

it will go into reverse just fine and park and you can run all the low drive gears until you reach 1500 rpm then it'll cut it off

i pulled mine out re soldered bad components on the board to fix it but im an electronics engineer it may be easier for you to just replace it
