OMG! I killed my Bird!
I killed her y'all! The tranny is really messed up now. I haven't taken it to a shop yet, but it doesn't look good. When I took off from a stop this am, I got to about 30 mph and then the car downshifted and chirped the tires. (Tranny guy says this is "limp mode") After that, I got it up to speed just fine. At the next light, it wouldn't swap gears after 20 mph. When it finally did shift, the whole car jerked like it had been slammed into park. After that, it whined (sounded like a belt whine) for about 30 seconds. Once again, I got back up to highway speed after that, but I parked it as soon as I could.
