There seemed to be no warning regarding this problem, other than a slight high pitched whining noise in the am., much like the sound of a serpentine belt.the transmission fluid level was appropriate when checked. The computer reading has stated several problems, including a bad clutch.it will cost $2000 for a rebuilt transmission.
