Strange A/T issues
Last night my transmission acted strangely and wouldn’t shift down. I was stuck in either 3rd or 4th if O/D was on, which made for real lazy starts from the stop light. Once I got home, I put the car in Park, turned it off, and then back on. Everything seemed to work fine and I had the lower gears back.
Today I ran the diagnostics and did a test drive, no issues whatsoever!
I drove it hard yesterday, but probably no more than usual. The initial symptoms showed up just as I exited the highway, so it was down from 85 to 0, and then as I got going from that stop I noticed problems with acceleration.
Has anyone encountered this before? I’d like to know if there is an outright failure looming in the near future.
