Okay, somehow I managed to screw with my automatic... The gear selector now picks the wrong gears. Instead of
PRND21
I now have
PN1D21
Note lack of the 'R'. When driving home, I stuck it in D and it worked normally, no grinding, no hard shifts, nothing. (I'm going to have to 'Fred Flinstone' it out of the driveway tomorrow though!) I checked the linkage this morning and it's fine, no bent cable guides or anything (at least not that I can see from the engine bay.)
What do you guys think?
Note that this thing has 160 000 miles (260 000 km) on it and has been driven hard, redlined, shifted manually, n-dropped (once or twice), left-foot-brake-launched, autocrossed on every two weeks... So, ya, this is probably caused by stress, strain, and the driver beating on it. It was ready to go but I need it for another few weeks. If only it had waited 'til I had a donor car for my manual swap... Now I have to fix it though.
