Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Slipping out of drive

[KRStone]

Last week the trans in my 96 slipped out of drive.

This has never happened before.

It has happened three times now.

It has not occurred while underway, just at a stop.

At idle, in gear, i depress the throttle and the truck is in neutral.

Would this be transmission problem (47RE), or something with the gear selector lever?

230,xxx miles.

Thank you.

I would guess that with the mileage you have that it is in the shift linkages, also could involve a motor or transmission mount getting bad. bg

Those ideas make sense, would not have thought about the mounts.

Make sure the fluid level is correct and at the top of the hash marks. Also, a loose filter can do this.
