But after a few mins it was back to its old self again.
I checked the rocking back and forth with car parked on my garage floor and the car was normal. ie it did not go forward too much and back too much. I am dreading the next steps outlined by SL320 but I will see if I can crawl underneath.

I would definitely find a way to check the transmission fluid level. By the car sitting, there is no way that a mechanical issue will right itself even for a few minutes. If you are low on fluid, what may be happening is that by sitting for a few days, what fluid there is collects and then for the first few minutes, the car drives o.k. but with the lack of proper fluid, it starts to fail.
