Transmission seems to come out of gear when breaking/stopped

I have a 98 Chyrsler Town & Country that has just decided to adapt this unusual problem. While breaking or when I come to a complete stop, when I go to accelerate, the engine just revs like it is in nuetral. I've tried shifting into different gears, restarting the car, nothing seems to help. It just desides when it wants to work again. If someone out there can help me that would be great. Thanks, Joe.

It sounds like your transmission is overheating, you may want to check fluid, and get the tranny flushed, and get the trans filter changed. Hope it works out.

The output speed sensor may have come unplugged or got damaged. It is at the front of trans close to the drivers side tire. If you lay on the ground in front of the tire you should be able to see it.

I notice that sometimes my 98 chrysler town an country jumps from 1st gear to 2nd gear to soon. Does that mean that my transmission is starting to go out?

If it is only happening sometimes, you should get your transmission serviced ASAP. If you do this you should be able to save the transmission.
