Right. You're so full of it, it's seeping out of my screen. You signed up because you couldn't post your question, otherwise.

Thank you for you reply, I did Check the tranny fliud and that was ok with a clear cranberry color...Any other suggestions. In the past i had a similar problem where the car would start and as soon as you shift and would shut off- (I needed a new battery for that) when i replaced the batt everythign went back to normal. Dealer said bad tranny.

if fluid level is fine, then the tranny is probably gone.
