Default automatic transmission problem

2005 /22000 miles
Yestrday I was out for a drive and in overdrive the tranny just kicked out of gear . It will hold in first and second but in third and overdrive it just spins free . In these gears it will engage if I really romp on it.
Does this sound like a computer problem or what? No code came up.
thanks Duane

could be your torque conveter letting go or your tranny. If there is no codes or CEL then it indicates something mechanical not related to the computer.

FYI- I had this EXACT same problem. Check your fluid level.

I send off my transmission and converter when this happened in mine, and there was nothing at all wrong with either one.

check your fluid level. If its ok, then the 3-4 clutches are probably toast... Had the same thing happen to my truck.....
