3rd gear gone???
Well on the way home from san francisco sunday night, about 170 miles from home...the truck decides all of a sudden it doesn't want to shift into 3rd anymore.
So we had to hit the flashers and drove home at a whopping 45mph @ 3k rmps on the I-5 south (not fun).
But that's not all...after we got off the I-5 it started acting REAL bad and wouldn't hold rpms for anything. So finally we got about 3 miles from home and while in "gear" the truck wouldn't move...at all.
So we called a tow truck to get it home and after about 15 mins of waiting I decided to start the truck to see if any improvement and it started to go again.
So my question is: Is my transmission done??
It's an 05 VHO LQ9 and the trans is a ??? 65e or 80e? someone help me out there plz?
The truck has 83k on it and was purchased used 3 months ago. I have a feeling this won't be under warranty any longer because of the mileage so I'm gonna have to eat this one...
Any help would be appreciated.
