Is My Transmission Shot? -

OK, this just happened...my wife calls me to tell me she's stuck at
the bottom of our street, which is a pretty decent sized hill....maybe
800 feet long or so. So I jump in my 96 250 5.8 a/t, hook up to her
car (a small Acura) and proceed to try to pull her up the hill. My
truck's already in 4WD, and the front tires start spinning in the
snow. I was at it for about 2 minutes tops before I noticed that my
truck won't go in forward anymore. So I disconnect it from the car,
and roll both vehicles back down the hill. Parked the truck in my
neighbors driveway at the bottom of the hill and just walked back
home. Does this sound like I cooked the trans? Neighbor seems to think
it just overheated and said to let it cool down for a few hours and
come back and see what happens. Reverse works fine-its just all the
forward gears that don't work...feels like your in neutral...damn |
