Default Tranny Capers

Got home last night after a 2 hour trip, car ran perfectly the whole trip.

Hadnt been home for more than 5 minutes when I realised I forgot to get milk.

Jumped back in the car and drove 2 mins to the shop and got milk.

Half way home from shop the car suddenly starts to rev out in Drive, as if it had just been put into Neutral but it was still in Drive. I'm like WTF?

Lost all gears, wouldnt engage at all.

Managed to roll home (lucky was all downhill).

Started car this morning all seemed fine till about 1 min into drive, same **** happened again.

Got a tranny kit and fluid for $70 and did the overhaul. Man was that fluid black and burnt plus only 3 liters drained out.

All running perfectly now, but how could that happen without any warning and why 5 minutes after a long trip and not during it?

Wouldnt it start to slip in drive going up a hill first if fluid is low and old?

Morgs.
