Dead in the Water

Thought I was done with transmission related issues.
First real breakdown on the side of the road. Revs in gear. Moves a smidge. That's all it has.

Ugh. And the transmission is brand new changed it fewer than five thousand miles ago. Also is uprated, so I doubt I managed to break it. Never leaked. Toped off fluids.

There was a whining noise that was coming from the back of the engine. I thought it might have been the mechanical fuel pump. I'm thinking it's the torque converter.

Typing this as I wait for tow truck. We'll see.

What does the tranny fluid look like?

Bright pink/red.

Hope it's something easy....and under warranty!

Bummer!

Busted U-joint?

Don't think so. I had both of those replaced in April. They made a vibration noise with the drive-shaft.

Fingers crossed. I'm hoping since it hasn't been a year. The only shred of a good side is if I had gone to Wagonfest, it probably would have broke down then as opposed to in my borough.

I tell ya its times like these I think about throwing in the towel.
