Yup. It finally happened to me. Dropped from 5th to 4th rolled up my power tried to shift to 5th again... NOPE so I'm stuck in 4th limped into Hoots Cafe in Whitebird, ID. Im glad my sockets with me.

Took 20 minutes with basic tools. Now in Grangeville ID getting breakfast.

    Penzoil is all i have used for the 320k or so miles on this trans. The first 52k were most likely the Mopar since I bought it used
