p.s. i don't whant to get to the dealer and pay 350 and was only the tps 2 months later it quit working and replaced myself for 25.00 and 15 min of my time...
It is the sensor on the tranny that deceides what gear you are in. When they go bad they throw the tranny into nuetral briefly. Think the sensor is called the MLPS. Easy to change it. It is external. Could be the sensor or just the connection. Maybe a damaged wire. Clean the connection and fill it with di-electric grease to prevent corrosion. If that doesn't fix the problem replace the switch. You need to fix it soon. Not good on the tranny to drive like this.
Do a search here for MLPS and you will find a lot of info.
