Help I'm stranded! A few ?
Hello all, I just found this site while searching in desperation forinfo on my 99 grand (3.3 FFV) I am currently stuck in Clinton IA due to my transmission getting stuck in one gear and not letting me go above 40 @3000rpm's. I just got off the interstate and was driving along and slowed to a stop and it clunked and then it wouldn't shift, check engine was on too. I nursed it to a Jiffy lube and they told me it was probably toast. So I found a hotel and figured I'd wait until monday to take it to a dealer. After it cooled off it seemed to shift better but the CEL was still on. I pulled the battery overnight and this morning the CEL was off and it shifted fine. Now I don't know if I was in limp mode for some reason, maybe due to heat? How do you get the codes to come up on these? I did just replace the seal on the differential cover the night before, I don't think I bumped any thing. Any thoughts before I try to drive home, or should I stay put. I live two hours away. Thanks,Doug
