Hello everyone i have a 97 GST Automatic and im having some Transmission issues, The car shifts perfect when its cold and will stay in gear but once its warmed up if i put it out of gear it doesnt wanna go it to any gear except neutral and park...

Could this be the TCU?
 
There is also alot of threads on this topic. It always helps to google search but under dsmtuners: in the search bar. It is a little hard to find excatly what your looking for on here so i find it easier with google.
 
How long since the last fluid and trans filter change?

Might be time to invest in a better trans cooler. Heat is the biggest detriment to A/T fluid life.

I havent changed it since i bought the car but i haven't been driving it because it didnt pass emissions which im fixing right now, The Trans was rebuild 3k ago and the fluid looks good and smells fine.
