    dropped out - transmission - FNKY HELP!!

    Scenario-
    Driving on the way to work...using the paddle (SC Perf setting). Just like any other day... I driving "normally" - like the average Joe, just cruising along in 3rd...

    Next thing I know, I'm looking at the "D" and there is NO POWER TO THE WHEELS! I give it a little gas, and the RPM's run up a little, and yet NOTHING to the wheels!! I repeat it ...RPM's go up, but the same thing... SO.... then, while still moving down the road - no traffic- I move it up into nuetral, and then put it back into "D"...coast for a second, and then ALL things return to normal...

    What the hell?? Any idea folks??

    The little gremlin inside your tranny must have needed a bathroom break
    (seriously... i hate automatic transmissions).

    Really though, sounds like your trans slipped out of gear. Could have been an electronic hiccup, could have been that it didn't fully engage the first time you shifted... who knows. It's definitely something to keep an eye on. With no codes and the car acting normally, I can already hear the dealer telling you 'could not duplicate condition. no repair performed.' If it happens again though I'd definitely start making a stink about it.

    Ignition off, on , off, on, off then on should bring up the codes if any...at least thats how I think I did it on mine. It shows the codes on the odometer. (scratches his bald head)

    Pretty sure it is correct.

    Just did it, thats how it is. Switch the ignition on/off 3 times leaving it in the on position last.

    keep monitoring it. if it happens again, try running with stock tune to eliminate the possibility of the tuner being at fault.

    happened to me a while back

    Same thing. Driving to work in D. audible "thunk" and I have no drive. Zizz motor, coast to side of road. Shut off and restart, everything good. As I drive home, pop code. I left next morning on a 2 week m/c vacation. When I returned, start Magnum, no code. This was late July no trouble since. Go figure
