Drivetrain Transmission Slips When I Put It In Drive 95 Mustang Gt

[Domenicteee]

I just had the transmission oil and filter changed and when I put it in drive, the transmission will slip on occasion. Does anybody know what will remedy this. Dom

Define your slip, is it in every gear, or just a certain gear?

Is it slipping, or popping into neutral (no engine braking/no acceleration at all)?

If it's popping into neutral, then catching a gear after the rpms come up/down, look into your Manual Lever Position Sensor (MLPS sensor, also called a neutral safety switch). About $30, easy fix.

It slips only when I put it in Drive. After its in drive, no slippage. It happens periodically but it seems that when the car has been running for a while it happens more. Any suggestions? thanks dom

Hah, pointed to the exact thing I was going to repost. I had the same problem with my old AODE when the plastic gear on the VSS stripped. Worth checking out both the MLPS and the VSS while you're under the car.
