I posted a warning about this mod previously. I had it done on 2 Auto Trannies in a V8. Both trannies blew shortly after the mod, that is similar to the one done here. I am speaking out of experience with Valve body mods, they can be a destruction point for your automatic. I do not believe in them . Those hard shifts are not helping the life of your tranny. Just my conclusion from previous history with Auto's...

your computer went into limp home mode
it threw a code "excessive wheel spin" and it automatically locked your tranny in third gear, your od light probably was on on flashin
when u turn the car off, it goes back to normal
and u ask me how i know this?
well i took my brothers maxima for a ride, did a healthy burn out, and tranny locked in third, i was thinkin my life is over and i was ****ed, but i turned the car off, put it on, and bang works like new hehe
