Did you disconnect the battery to allow the computer to reset itself? I believe you have to leave it off for at least a half an hour.

How many miles on your tranny fluid? If its old, it brakes down and that could be your problem, just an idea.

mustang, there is no telling how many miles are on the fluid, but i'm just going to drive the tranny into the ground and then get a new one for it when it goes out(450 exchange at a local junkyard, or about 1000 exchange for a racing tranny) but since i posted the first post it had done a little better, but i think i will reset the computer and see what happens to it.
