When I first start the car, it drives fine. After driving, a few minutes, the transmission disengages but the engine is still running. When I turn the car off and restart, the transmission works. It seems that the longer I drive, the longer it takes for the transmission to engage.

Good evening,

Have you checked the fluid?

How long has it been since you changed the fluid?

A clogged filter could cause this issue.
