Reload this Page '99 ZX2 automatic transmission goes into neutral after hard braking

Ford Escort Ford Escort ZX2 is a hot-looking compact coupe with a rakish design. Yet its handsome interior reveals a roomy back seat and surprisingly large trunk. ZX2 provides responsive handling and good road manners and its engine delivers decent power. At the same time, the ZX2 is a practical car, with plenty of room in the back seats for friends.

Default '99 ZX2 automatic transmission goes into neutral after hard braking
my ZX2's automatic transmission goes into neutral after hard braking. Engine will rev but the vehicle will not move. (The shifter does not physically move out of drive.) Depends on what it feels like doing, some times I can pull it down into low and it might move. But most of the time I have to put it into park, shut it off, and restart, and it might drive again. The gear selector is fine, fluids are fine. Please give me some ideas...

Are you sure the fluid is correct, did you check the level while the engine is running and the transmission is hot?

Just asking cause I met so many people that check transmission fluid like engine oil.
