sounds like your car needs a new lock up solenoid in the transmission.not to hart to change its on the side of the transmission u gotta remove the pan that goes on the top side of trans not the bottom oil pan but the one on the side that looks like a pan.or just disconnect the plug on top of the trans that goes to the lock up and your car will run again but will lose a little power and burn little more gas but very drivable.best thing is to just fix the problem not to expensive.part will run from 35 bucks and up.good luck
