I don't know if this will help, but it may. I was hours into a long trip when my 95 New Yorker suddenly downshifted on the highway. Lucky no one was behind me. I had no sooner pulled over to the shoulder than someone pulled over to assist. He was an Auto Zone employee and told me that my problem was likely a sensor. His recommendation was to disconnect the battery for a few minutes (2-5) and the computer would reset itself. I did that and I was on my way. No problems since, and it's been less than 2 weeks.
Before my return, I put it in the shop to have it checked out. The mechanic said that unless the "check engine" light came on, there would be no trouble code they could get off the computer. When that happened, the check engine light didn't come on, neither did the "overdrive" light. I have no idea what happened and my mechanic said he just drive it.
If you have a check engine light on, you might go to Auto Zone if you live near one. They'll hook your car up to the diagnostic computer for little or no charge so that you can see what trouble code is showing.
