Hello everyone,
I am kind of in a huge problem, so any help would be greatly appreciate it. I went last night through a few off road trails with a bit of mud puddles (nothing huge) on the road. I drove through the trails, hit a few puddles pretty hard (big splashes) and after I took it on pavement for the drive home. It drove fine at first, I got it on the freeway to head back for an hour drive home. Notice a bit of lag on the transmission and sense that my RPM was revving high but going nowhere. I pulled over, turn the car off, turned it back on to get out of the unsafe freeway emergency zone, and it began driving just fine. Car was driving as when I barely got it, smooth. Well Im about 15mins from home, hit traffic, and as soon as that happens O/D light came on and the revving and transmission issue began to happen again. Now the car just sits. I checked the transmission fluid, and it smells burn and its dirty so I'll be changing that. But I doubt that would fix the problem? Oh and one last thing, when I got home, my reverse doesn't want to get the truck going backwards, and neutral pushes the car instead of just idling.
