Transmission Problems

[THE JEDI]

Okay here we go, again driving no problem..suddenly....she wouldn't pull, looked, transmission light was on, so she's not catching the lower gears....so looks like the cogs are burned or stripped..any suggestions...

Automatic or stick shift, I am thinking automatic. Any check engine light on ? If so check for transmission code. Could be just bad transmission sensor and vehicle is in limp mode, then you lose all power to save transmission.

Glad to hear it was just sensor. Do you know if it was sensor in transmission? If they had to drop the pan then at least you got some fresh fluid in there and a new filter, good preventative maint.
