| Yeah i was thinking it could be low on trans fluid as well.... Usually unless you launch hard , these transmissions don;t just give out without warning , not that it doesn't happen , but its usually not just an all of the sudden thing.

| Well, at least you have an extended warranty that will probably cover most of the cost.

| Did you notice if the fluid was dark or smelled burnt? This can tell you if heat caused the failure. _________________  |

| It's always good to know what happened, so you can look for warning signs in the future, and maybe prevent it from happening again. I can't recommend anything specific without knowing more. Keep us posted! _________________ |
