It was really hot and I was driving up hill for four or five miles when I started downhill and stopped at a stop sign the car went into neutral and would not move. I put it in park and turned off the engine. After a few minutes I started the car put it in gear and it ran fine. This happened several more times then has not happened in two or three weeks. But I am afraid to drive it anywhere. Any ideas? A new transmission was put in at 60,000 miles.

It sounds like one of the clutch pack engagement piston seals is not right or the shift solenoid is having an issue to be sure lets first run the codes to see whats comes up.
