my 95 psd also acts like that but it happens in drive also and sometimes it will kill the engine, otherwise the transmission works fine

I had the same problem with a F-150 truck....turned out to be the transmission fluid filter. Heard that the filter drops down. Once I had it changed the truck was back to normal.
