[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 103914, member: 15"] BP88, the symptoms you described is like exactly what happened to mine. Basically the trans program code is out, and when that happens the gearbox ECU will activate the "safe mode" preventing further damage to the tranny. You could do two things 1) do a flush and hope the problem goes away and 2) open up the tranny and check for broken parts. I did option 2 since I could hear some whinning noise which was not present before and voila it was a broken first gear housing. On the same note, I have tried Redline's Fully Synthetic ATF...and its awesome!! :) [/QUOTE]
