wooohoo, no burnt transmission!!
well I just finished working on the car. I jacked it up this morning to find a loose exhaust and a piece of wood of substantial size lodged underneath the car. This had popped a hose off and the clamp was lost. I went to Mcgeorge Toyota and picked up the two locking bolts for the exhaust and a new vacuum hose with clamp, total was $9.86. I also added 1/2 a quart of transmission fluid to the car since it was a little low. The car shifts flawlessly again and the engine is sooo quiet like a Toyota should be. I am glad I decided to jack it up and take a peek myself before some tranmission shop ripped her off. Thanks for the tips!
