Hi everyone, Im new to this forum. Im from India and have been attending school here in the US for the last year. I just had my brother's 2-year, 43000 mile old auto Mustang V6 shipped to me tonight.

Im facing a worrying transmission issue which my bro never had. Even while in 'D', the tranny seems to be shifting to neutral and staying there when I idle at a stop. It even shifted to neutral when I was off the throttle for a while crusing around 30 mph. It only goes back to gear when I rev it to around 2500-3000 rpm. Which means the car is leaping forward from rest (just like dumping the clutch at 3k rpm in first gear in a manual tranny car). I've only driven the car for 10 miles and this has happened for abour 4 times. It really worries me.

My brother says he refilled the transmission fluid just before shipping the car to me. He also got the fuel filter changed. He doesnt seem to have a clue as to why this is happening, but he asked me to 'reset' the auto transmission settings (put the key in ON position, keep the throttle pedal fully depressed for 5 seconds, key back to off position and then start the car after another 15-20 seconds) Does such a reset procedure really exist? He advised me to drive the car around for a couple of days and see if the tranny learns my style and behaves properly.

Anyway, will the problem go away on its own? Or is the tranny damaged? Please help, I was really looking forward to having a car and now this!

The car's pretty much stock except for an aftermarket exhaust.

Thanks
Mayur

P.S: Im sorry if my English is difficult to understand.
