im guessing tranny, the pcm is all ran by the pcm, but if the rpms work, i wonder if if you have a short somewhere

It could be your speed sensor going out... If the pcm doesn't know how fast the car is going it doesn't know which gear to put the tranny in.

When mine did that to me, it turned out that crap from the tranny wedged itself between the final drive housing and the reluctor wheel that the sensor uses to determine speed.

PCM and HV3??

No way that will do anything.

Sounds like the speed sensor is going or gone

My car does the same thing. Usually after its rained heavily. Once my car dries out, its good to go. The HUD works fine, so I'm good for now.
