That's just as the engine is revving to ~5,000 rpm and I'm trying to slam on the brakes to not hit this jerk and, at the same time, figure out why my engine is going berserk all of a sudden. I make it through the intersection whith a resounding thunk, thud, slam, and lo and behold, I'm coasting down the mild grade in what appears to be a very noisy version of neutral. I was able to pull into a seldom used turn lane and call Crncnn for a towstrap recovery. So, yeah, life sucks.
Sorry it ends up to be your trans causing the tow,hope you can get the ironrocket back on the street soon.

I'm also curious what caused the trans to go bad ascinder keep us posted
