It could be a lot of things. It could be a Transmission Range Sensor, a seal inside the trans, a wiring problem, and probably a few other things I haven't thought of. A pro with a really high end scan tool could easily diagnose what's wrong.

I don't understand how a torque converter could do this.

If you have an E4OD in a '99 you will have problems. The E4OD doesn't have the speed sensors that a 4R100 has. The PCM needs these signals to control the transmission.

You do know that all '99 automatics were the 4R100, not the E4OD, right?

By what method have you determined your transmission model to be an E4OD?

Ugh, a shop "rebuilt" a transmission and doesn't even know its designation.

Time to go talk to someone at that "shop". Makes me wonder what parts they put into your transmission.

There are a lot of people that call the 4R100 an E4OD. The 4R100 is an upgraded E4OD.
