So there I was!

Unplanned road trip to Seattle WA area for a little ones b-day party, approx 6 miles from destination (3+ hours from home), tranny sticks in first, almost got rear-ended .... problems persist, gets worse and then the O/D light started blinking.... Called Marc, he said you aren't getting it home. Pretty sure OD is gone as well as third, I think I still have first and second. Is there a way to manually shift an auto or are the gears gone completely????


Anybody know of a hauling service (not a tow truck) gotta get the truck about 75 miles down the road to a better place???

That sucks!! I drove mine 300 miles yesterday without 1st or 2nd and no tc lock up it used a full tank instead of little over half this time but I guess I just got lucky I made it home. Good luck to ya. Check with your insurance they may tow it for you.

nope no AAA.... insurance will only pay to get it to the closest place, not where I want it to go.... dangit!!!

Can't get it to run over about 35 mph either.
