Auto Trans permanently in neutral

[jeff@xxxx]

I just picked up my new "D" from getting restored last Saturday, and 
it was absolutely fantastic for 2 days. Then... while driving home on 
Sunday night, the automatic transmission completely dropped out of 
drive. The lever remained in the "D" position, but the transmission 
was in neutral. 

While the engine is on, the shift lever will not move to "1" or "2", 
but will move up through "N", "R" and "P", but is always in neutral 
gear. 

When the engine is off, the shift lever *will* move to "1" and "2"

Needless to say, I had to call the tow truck. Fortunately, the truck 
was a flatbed, and the operator appreciated what a fine specimin of 
a "D" this is. He even took pictures! (said it was his first Delorean)

SO, are there any ideas of what the problem might be? Where do I 
begin to look?

Thanks! I can't wait to get on the road again.
