I am sure I don't want to hear it, but....
how royally fk'ed does it sound like I am???
On my way to work tonight, I was getting on the interstate and as I was accelerating to pull into traffic, there was a clunk and it felt like I lost the tranny for a few seconds. As I exited the interstate I had no "go" gear with the car in Drive, or 3rd. When I put it in 2nd it picked up. From a standing stop D & 3 are both basically a neutral gear, but if I start out in 1st or 2nd on an easy accel, I can shift into D and it will cycle through all the gears (including overdrive) but the second I give it any gas and it wants to downshift, it pops back to neutral. Soooo....someone want to take a stab at what might be wrong and also tell me how royally fudged I am, and tell me I will have to refinance the house to fix it, or is someone going to make my day and tell me it is something simple easy, and inexpensive to fix. |

Sounds like you're screwed.
But I'm no expert, but I have had many tranny issues over the years. It seems like it's not if, it's when an auto tranny will fall out. |

No codes
HAHAHA...I tried that, till I remembered there is no dipstick for the tranny Quote:
But with over 130K on the clock, driven hard daily, driven halfway accross the country, and maybe a pass or two on the drag strip...that tranny has has a hard 10 years |
