Hi, i have the same problem with my mitsubishi galant 1995 model automatic transmission, only it happens when the engine is still cold, when it runs for more than 15 minutes everything is fine, most of the time only when I turn the wheel to right or left before I turn back the wheel it will back to neutral for about 3-5 seconds. The problem starts when I'm trying to repair my carburetor.
I hope somebody knows what is the exact solution for this problem it's very rare .
