So I am heading home to get ready to meet up with Porter and his buds in Buckhead (local bar scene)… I am going and accidently knock the car into N. I slip it back to D and continue to the stop sign about 300’ away. I take off and the tranny is a little rough, I look down and there is 0 speed regeistered. The needle is pegged on 0, no movement. I go oh ****, then BAM!! The CE light comes on and the car drops to 2 and won’t shift up to 3. Limp mode, I figure. I drove to a parking lot and turn the car off, turn back on and cycle the gear lever. Nothing, CE still on. I drive home with the tranny staying in 2 except for when I let off the gas and then it jumps between 2-3 and then stays in 2. I get home, figure an ECU reset is needed, do that the CE is gone, speedo works again but now when I put into D, it thunks some. I should definitely get his checked. When driving it seems to shift fine, maybe a little rougher from 2-3 but I don’t feel any slippage in the gears… any ideas what this might be?

Egad that's no good. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/frown.gif

How many miles? Do you shift through the gears when you 'race' at a light? What color is your tranny fluid? Miles since last tranny fluid change?

28,809 miles. i haven't checked my fluid yet. i was gonna tonight after work, no leaks though. i 'shift' at lights only drop to 3 under hard braking and quick stops and highway off ramps, and that shouldn't cause this...

Does the shifter move too?

what do you mean? it still locks in the gear slots.

Just take it in. thats the best thing you can do.

OUCH, thats not good...

how fast was the engine running (what rpms) when you put it back into D from neutral? i sure hope it wasn't running at anything above idle..
