Ok, for a long time now I have had an issue which I was told is no Third Gear. The major symptom of this would be on a hard acceleration past 80 MPH. The car would redline at about 80 unless if I had been accelerating anything higher then normal...
Time passes, car sits for a while, wife takes it out for a couple weeks and brings it home one night with the SES light lit. I run the code and it comes back as something like "Solenoid B Stuck" after doing a little research I found a bunch of sites that said to clear the code and it should go away...
Cleared the code and drove for a few weeks with no issues and the light did not come back on. Then I started my trip to Canada and about 80 miles in I was comming to a stop behind cars when I noticed that I was not able to accelerate. The engine would rev, but no movement. So I coasted the car to a stop and tried D, 1st, 2nd, R... etc with no change. No noticeable noise to indicate the car was shifting and no movement.
