722.6 transmission issue

[sokoloff]

Every once in awhile my transmission will go into neutral by itself. I lose all forward gears for sure. I think I also lose reverse, but I can't swear to that. This has happened the last three times when I have slowed to a stop very quickly and made a hard right hand turn. I can move the shifter through all the gears and it will not engage. If I shut the engine down and start it back up all is well again.

Transmission fluid was changed at 48,000 miles and I have also changed the electrical connector plug and O rings due to ATF leaking into it.

Any ideas? Is this a common occurrence? No check engine light comes on either.
