This is the first time that I know of in the past 70 thousand miles this happened. Was going up a hill, stopped at a stop sign, hit the gas and the revs went up but the car was in neutral until it figured out it wasn't supposed to be and then down shifted into the right gear.
Anyone else ever had this happen? -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)

Sounds like it's low on fluid.

sounds like a solenoid going out. Had this problem before, when the problem happens your tranny light must be going off too i bet? My car used to be automatic a long time ago.
It also happened to my 5sfe camry, same problem same fix. This post has been edited by trdproven: Jul 15, 2016 - 12:39 AM -------------------- 94 Celica GT

it even went into neutral as I was climbing a hill, luckily it caught back in gear and I cruised back up the rest of the way.
To me if it sounds like it switching into neutral by itself and sooner or later it catches back onto gear, it could be the solenoid, but of course I tried changing the fluid first since its cheaper to do. You can also scan for codes if it stored it somehow. -------------------- 94 Celica GT
