I'm going probably 45mph and all of a sudden the car acts like it shifted into neutral, but the engine stayed at 5 or 6000 rpms, then went back into gear and kept doing that until I finally came to a stop (without touching the brakes). It got worse over about 4 months. During that time I've flushed the transmission and changed the tranny filter 4 times, changed all the solenoids and wire harness in the valve body with no luck.
Car will not go into reverse. Stuck in limp mode. I've erased the codes 3 times and now the code po722 comes up. That's for the transmission output sensor. Not sure if it's worth changing the sensor or just replacing the transmission all together since reverse doesn't work.
