1995 Riviera Trans seems fine other than no overdrive. It was working great???? Is trans toast? or maybe some kind of sensor or switch? trans is fairly new
I have the same problem. You are probably going to have to rebuild the transmission. A scanner would give you a better Idea what is going on with the transmission. I am going to be rebuilding mine in a few weeks.
( god I can't wait) I will keep you informed.

Sounds like you may have an intermittant TCC Solenoid, and it'* starting to go out.
My theory.....if it'* working now and all.
Generally with heat, it'll make it slip in OD more than just not use it at all.
