From: MOFN, AL, 70 miles from George
Default Auto transmission stuck in 4th. Until a re-start

Interesting problem:

Pulled out of a driveway over a diagonal hump, spun the inside tire and the trans. shifted immediately into 4th-and stayed there. Could not change it with the slapstick, nor would it shift down at a stop. Quite embarrassing pulling away from a stop at 1/2 throttle and accelerating like a burro. Made it home (5 miles) at no more than 45 MPH/2200 RPM. I had to shut her down and re-start to make it work. Drives fine now.

It has smelled warm driving for a while, but could be my imagination. Still under MaxCare.

Should I chance having the apes look at it?
