Will not engage. I was going down the road and it jumped out of gear as if it were a standard. Fluids are fine not burnt or discolored. Was told it could be sensors one or two.

Hey LEONARD,

Use a scanner to see if there are any codes, this will tell you if a sensor is out, if not then it sounds like the transmission lost the front pressure pump which means it will need to be rebuilt.

Here is a guide for the scan.
