driving home today my DC4 was driving fine, then out of nowhere it just rev up and acted like it was in neutral. i thought the transmission went out, since it wouldn't work in any gear. So i pulled over and turned the car off and called a friend to pick me up. well about 5 minutes pass and i figure wtf, I'll just try and see if it'll work. low and behold, it works like a champ and shifts like butter....... Then it happened about 8 more times before i got home. Every time i have to cut the car off and wait for a bit before it's moveable again. I called a friend and he said to pull the back up fuse and battery fuse to reset the ecm, but that didn't work, so I'm thinking possible Shift solenoids / transmission control module. Anybody have similar problems or any ideas of what it could be? i'd like to do a manual swap but that something i have to wait and need this to last a bit longer. Thx in advance for input

Yes, sorry, full fluid and pink. I also do not know the last fluid change since I have just acquired it.

Well I've figured it out with the help of a buddy. It's the transmission filter. Either it's broke / came loose or clogged. Either way it has to be rebuilt. :(

Thx, I'm just going to convert it to a manual. Might as well, since I'll be doing some over improvements as well
