The car still runs just fine when it is in neutral.

Sounds like there may be a problem with the torque converter. It is possible the torque converter lock up solenoid is keeping the converter engaged. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

Like WTO said, even the t.converter switch could be at fault.....when you have a problem such as this it will be hard to give you a good answer, and its even harder if the check engine light haven't came on, but you could start replacing things we mentioned and still have the problem, this is a sort of thing that a shop might have to handle, sorry I couldn't be more helpful....but maybe someone here may have had the same trouble and found the repair info.
