Why does my transmission stop working when it warms up?
A few common causes are low or dirty transmission fluid, or faulty shift solenoids. If these are not the problem then it could be possible that the transmission is having internal faults, perhaps a worn torque converter, or transmission gears, inside of the transmission.
Can you drive a car with a bad transmission solenoid?
Can You Drive It? The short answer is that, yes, you can usually drive a car with a bad shift solenoid. Fluid pressure control should continue to function in the gear with the working solenoid, but you should avoid putting any serious stress on the transmission — towing or drag racing — just in case.
What happens if transmission solenoid goes bad?
A problem with one or more of the solenoids can cause a lack of pressure, resulting in hard, soft or delayed shifts. A failed shift solenoid can also cause transmission slippage, where your engine revs faster but the car stays at the same speed.
Why is my automatic transmission not shifting gears?

Why does my transmission stick to my steering wheel?
Low Level of Fluid. Overheating could be a reason for the gear to stick and the low fluid level is the culprit for making the transmission overheated. Actually, low fluid levels are the source of several transmission-related issues. So, your first response to the gear-sticking problem should be to check the transmission oil.
