I have a 1997 Continental with a strange transmission problem. Start it up, put it in gear and it does fine for a few minutes. It even shifts gears (I get it up to third on my driveway without taking it out on the road). Then I come to a stop and it's like the transmission is in neutral. No forward, no reverse. Here's the strange thing, I shut off the engine, immediately start it back up and the car goes into gear and takes off again. I thought the filter/pickup tube may have fallen off into the bottom of the transmission pan, so I took off the pan and indeed it had fallen off. I replaced it, but the problem is still there. I wonder if this might be a computer problem. Anyone ever heard of this?
