Something Electronic with Transmission So I've got a problem that started about a couple weeks ago and has got worse. At first when I shifted the auto into Drive or 3rd it was fine most of the time... a few times it would slightly hesitate and not want to go it seemed until I shifted the stick into another gear. Well now it's like randomly just going into neutral or something when I go... I can drive normal for a few seconds... maybe a min or two... and then it acts like the thing isnt in gear anymore and just revs up... and then none of the gears work at all... so I would pull over... turn the car off and restart it and behold I could drive again until it started doing the same thing a few moments later. I have no idea what it is... not a mechanic for starters... lol. Also seems to be at its worse after it has been in gear and when I stop at a light... when I take off... its no longer giving me any push... just the revs again. If anyone knows what this is? I'm hoping somekind of sensor or wire... lol... let me know... I need to get me a mechanic to fix it ASAP... midterms in my classes are this week in college... sucks for me right now.

After that I think you need to take it to a trans shop; it sounds like it has low line pressure which can be any number of things. If it is an original '94 it has weak parts in the oil pump and would need a rebuild. Sorry not to have better news.

Step one - check your trans fluid level. (Sorry if you already did this obvious step, but you didn't mention it.)
