This has been goin on the past couple days, ill be driving and all of a sudden its in nutural while still showing drive. If i switch gears it does nothing, it just has to go back on its own. It happens in all gears, even reverse. Ill be ready to take off then and press the gas then i just slowly roll forward. I almost got hit because my XJ wouldnt go anywhere.

ps ATF= automatic transmission fluid
