Today while driving less than 1 mile from my home my car started dragging then once i pulled over and out the car in park. When i tried putting the car in drive, reverse, and neutral it wouldn't change gears. I had it towed and when the guy when to put it in neutral all the gears worked, he was able to drive it right into my parking stall. I was told it may be my transmission? I didn't have any warning signs, do these things just go out? Or maybe there was and I just don't know what they are. I have had this car for 4 months. I already got everything pertaining to the over heating system repalced, knock sensor, transmission flushed, head gasket replaced and some other gaskets, should i just sell this car or what?

I'm thinking the neutral safety switch is worn out.

It Was Running Fine. I Got A Motor Mount Changed About 3 Weeks Prior. The Driving Was Fine. I Noticed A Little Pull, But Not As Much Since I Got One Of The Motor Mounts Replaced. It Never Stalled On Me Or Anything.

What Should I Have The Mechanic Check On The Car That Can Keep The Car From Shifiting Gears?

It Sounds Like Toysrme Is Correct With His Guess. Regardless You Should Try To Take It To A Trusted Mechanic. Why Are You Typing Like This, By The Way?

I had the car checked the mileage is about 164,000. They had to rebuild the transmission
