Check the gearshift pin to be sure it's not bent and contacting the switch properly. Check the schematics on

and verify you have proper power and ground to the Key Lock and Control unit. You may need a new Key Lock and Control unit.
after the transmission is warmed up to nornal , when you come to a stop it seem to go to neutral til you give it a little more rpm, it's a 1993 sonota v6
These transmissions weren't the most reliable. You should check the fluid. If okay, you'll probably need a transmission. It'll be a good idea to have this checked to be sure there isn't some sensor issue, but the most frequent problems by far are internal.
where is the trans filter located on a 1993 sonata with V6 with automatic with over drive
