It could but I doubt it.
If it were the selector switch it should also do the same thing if you are pulling a hill or cruising at a set speed.

1986 Buick Riviera 3800 engine hesitation when coasting

When a vehicle is coasting and slowing down it will often switch into a lower gear which will cause that "back pulling" sensation, as the lower gear is now slowing the car down, which will also cause the engine speed to increase, which you might believe to be engine hesitation. That's the way they are supposed to work, unless of course you have switched the transmission into neutral, which is not a good idea to do.

Transfer case stuck in neutral

something you may want to try to get transfer case into hi gear
.while driving forward, coast at appx 10 mph and place your transmission in neutral while still coasting at 10 mph then try shifting your transfer case to hi .this is a technique used on a lot of different vehicles to get the transfer case to shift. If it shifts into hi range then place your transmission into drive while coasting and should then be where you want.it technique also works to place vehicle into low from hi on a lot of vehicles.hope this helps solve your problem. chris

My car will go off gear when i brake hard and it takes a few seconds to pick up gear again

It sounds to me like your transmission fluid level is low, when you brake hard the fluid moves to the front of the pan and leaves a void for the filter to grab air instead of fluid. When you stop the fluid settles back and away you go again. This could cause premature transmission failure so check it soon and top it up ASAP. With the transmission cold the fluid level should be near the add mark, full mark only if the trans is hot.

Transmission will not shift into 3rd gear

no problems before the mud deal but problems after the mud deal means that the problems started in the mud
check for mud in connections , wires disconnected , harness problems, vacuum hose to actuator broken or missing
run the fault codes to help point to a problem area
the transmission is sealed so there will be no need to change the oil or filter--just clean and check everything that is mud affected

I first noticed the transmission would sometimes Slip a bit when switching gears at around 25-30 mph. This was a few weeks ago and it was not an every day problem. A dash light appeared around that same...

IF TRANSMISSION FLUID COLOR IS PINK FULL OF BUBBLES EITHER YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TRANSMISSION FLUID IN TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSES IT TO CHURN THE FLUID. OR YOU HAVE AIR GETTING IN THE SYSTEM BUT IT SOUND LIKE TORQUE CONVERTER SOLENOID CIRCUIT OPEN NOT ALLOWING TRANSMISSION GO INTO OVER DRIVE.IF YOU SEE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.BEST TO CODE SCAN VECHICLE TO SEE WHAT TROUBLE CODE YOU GETTING.BY TRANSMISSION BEING PCM CONTROLLED BEST TO SCAN BECAUSE TRANSMISSION HAS MANY SHIFT SOLENOIDS.TAKE CAR TO TRANSMISSION SHOP LET THEM CODE SCAN AND CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID COLOR.NORMAL FLUID COLOR WOULD BE RED COLOR.

1998 Dodge 3500Transmission goes to neutral

Try checking/adjusting the linkage. My 99 3500 TD has a similar problem when trying to shift into Drive. I have to shift to drive then slam down on the shift lever to get it to engage. Once in a while it will pop into neutral if I hit a large bump or something. I've just been too lazy to crawl under the truck to do anything about it.
