Anyways, when it happens, I found that putting the gear shifter into Neutral and coasting will eventually allow me to put it back into drive and it catches back into Drive.

Of course, when I took it to the transmission repair shop, they could not replicate the problem.

I have seen a few references to this issue on this forum, but no specific fix.

Any ideas?
