Transmission in drive seems to slip into neutral, then back into gear.

1) How's your fluid level?

2) When did you last replace your filter?

3) When it shifted, did it go trough all the gears as you accelerate or did it just stay on one gear and never shifted?

4) How's reverse, does it slip out too after 2 - 3 min?

5) As you first able to shift into gear, you can drive it for 2 to 3 mintues and it just suddenly slip out of gear?


.... could be a number of different things. Maybe even burnt out clutche(s) inside your transmission

if there is a problem in the transmission electronics there will be codes recorded but the data plug is not being connected up properly to read them. I suspect a faulty TCM will be the answer.

The item that is electrically controlled and it turn controls the gear shifts is the TCM. transmission control module. They are prone to playing up and one of the reasons for that is moisture in the cable connections near the box. Have some one pull all the harness connections concerning the box apart and blowing them clean with air and ensure that they are dry and clean

check fluid level, if good it maybe electrical problem..
check with dealer for recalls

Drive it slowly to a reputable transmission shop. There is nothing you can fix yourself.

clogged filter low fluid or bad ******

orbital clutches slipping , needs stripping

Your linkage could be loose; low on transmission fluid; or you need a new flywheel

Try changing the fluid in the transmission first this may solve it, if you are not sure when it was changed.

Transmission range sensor may be failing. I would test it for opens and shorts.
