ok, so my transmission is F*cked up. y'all know what happened. driving...shifted into park from drive...almost died yadda yadda. now the car has to be revved high to get up to speed..and the pedal has to be floored to maintain about 65 mph. a slight hill and it struggles to maintain 60. My gas mileage is horrible..the car shifts a lil late (not really a problem for me, its probably due to the boring.) the main problem though is the fact that the engine spins like crazy, but the car isnt going anywhere. also, rpms go up reallly slow.
now ive been in the car scene for a long time, i know i dont know everything but i know a lot. sorry i cant help you jbi, but what the hell is "limp mode"
well it actually shifts through all the gears....i just have to floor it to get a granny start. any slight incline and it has to be in low gear. basically, it seems to be suffering a severe power loss and severe gas mileage decrease.
Just wanted to help you sort out your confusion on the transmission... You proubly need a rebuild... you are in failsafe,,, go get a code run at auto zone or somethig and let me know however you can always drop a trans pan and see what is in their to help diagnose... Putting it in park while your moveing believe it or not will only make a loud noise but wont break the transmission, only the parking pawl if anything ,, does it still hold in park and if it does no harm was done....

o ok, it does hold in park. it goes and stays in all the gears, besides revving high and not going anywhere, when putting it in reverse, the car starts shaking/vibrating. It'll be $38 dollars for a diagnosis. so if what ur saying is true, how much should it cost to fix? ill get a cost estimate from the place that does the diagnosis.
I"m not a tranny guy like Roger (has been a big help for everyone I've seen him post to). But maybe it's just the troque coverter. It goes through all the gears but doesn't make it up hill stuff that needs torque. That'd be my guess.

Mod List. Um WAY too many to fit on here. But the engine can handle about 800HP

Wrong
i'm never following that advice from anyone because of two reasons:
1: Any time you suddenly stop spinning metal it becomes stressed. When you slam on your brakes it creates an imprint in your rotor that becomes a groove. Same philosophy applies to Automatic transmissions. 2: I've seen a dumb sh*t that almost got married into the family go through 3 transmissions in a car that wasn't even his because thats how he "parked" the car. He always put it into park without coming to a complete stop. 3 different transmission shops verified that is what caused the breakage, and one of them knew us by the "problem" the third time we visited the shop.
