Hi, transmissions in nwe cars are computer controlled. it sounds like the computer is getting a bad signal form a sensor somewhere, the computer itself is defective or the trans is going bad. use the code reader to see if you have any diagnostic codes present. start with the easiest (sensor) and eliminate everything before you mess with the trans.
