Yes, listen good and take the car to a reputable transmission shop for a complete stand alone test before you run into a mayor problem.

Tennisshoes gave you the best possible answer without looking inside the transmission. We try our best to help by offering advise. Nest time call Superman to take a look inside the transmission with his x-ray vision!

Called Superman, he said spend the money on a live data scanner, it was only $37 more than shop visit. Performed tests, replaced shift solenoid assembly, tested. Sorry, just frustrated with electronic control system, car back to normal. Thanks.

No way. Just bought 79 Toyota pick-up with 90k miles, now driving fast in opposite direction.
