This 3.0 has the 4speed automatic with 103K miles, and hasnt given me any problems till now. I leave the house and about a mile down the road, it goes into a false neutral. Trans still does not pull no matter what gear I selected, but engine revs. Just happen to be stuck in the middle of an intersection and was fortunate to have some volunteers that pushed it off to the side of the road while I called for a friend to come pick me up. After sitting an hour, I started it up again and the trans worked just fine till I got nearly home (bout 1 mile) and was able to coast into the driveway. I am tech savvy as I have nearly 30 exp. in japanese motorcycle industry as a technician, and have rebuilt engines and standard trans on personal vehicles, including 68 vette roadster. Having no intricate knowledge of automatics and being a single unemployed woman and have had bad experiences with car dealerships in the past, I am reluctant to take it to a dealer only to hear I need the trans completely changed. Has anyone heard of this problem and could guide me as to what I maybe possibly looking at for repairs.
