Answer
Hi Alicia,

I am not real familiar with such diagnoses, but from what you describe it sounds like a transmission computer problem. Call around and find a repair facility that can hook the computer to a diagnostic scanner for codes. You may have a code in the computer that will tell you the problem.

Good luck,

Rob
