Computers!! I assume that you are aware form another post, that if your auto transmission has a clitch the computer will register the "clitch" in the system for a Tech to see later when he does a diagnostic on it. Plus, if it is a descent "clitch", it will stop the transmission from working. You have to shut off the engine, shift to park, wait 10 seconds, restart and you will have reverse and 2nd only to limp home.
That sounds like what happened to you. Dan, sorry if I repeated myself, but I quickly scanned the thread and didn't see the above response.
