Hey guys, as the title says I have a problem with my Stude. I was out for lunch and on the way back, I had to hit the brakes kind of hard for a quick yellow-to-red light, and as I came to a stop, the car stalled out on me. (Now previously, it has had this related issue where, when I hit the brakes to stop, the engine stumbles a bit as it downshifts, but it's always leveled out, and been fine. I thought maybe it needed some carb tuning, but it never really bothered me that much, so I've put off getting into tinkering on it.)
Anyway, so when it stalled out, I put it in park and cranked it back up, no problem. The problem was when I shifted back into drive, it stalled out on me right away. I couldn't understand what was going on at first, so I again, shifted to park, cranked it up, and again went back into drive, and it stalled out a second time.
So when I started it up a third time, I instead shifted into low and the car was fine with that. I drove off the main road into a parking lot and drove around a bit, to make sure it was okay. Shifted into reverse, no problem, low, no problem, then again into drive, stall. Ugh! So I ended up driving (luckily a short drive) back to the house in first gear.
Since I've never had any trans issues pop up, I am unsure what may be wrong. Is there some kind of solenoid or something on these cars that may have died on me, that I can replace? Anyone have anything similar happen? I searched the forum but did not see any similar topics posted. Thanks for any help...
