I think i f-ed up my trans

I was taking my turns at like 60 - one of the times, i skidded almost totally to the side, and my engine stalled, now it seems like my tranny doesnt kick in as fast and it seems like it slips or something (it's an auto). Could be nothing or it could be sereous. Let me get some opinions.

Try disconnecting your battery [resetting your ECU]. It helps for some of problems. I don't know if it will help with yours, but it's worth a shot. If that doesn't work, check for any leaks/damage/disconnections/anything that isn't normal. Then let us know.

OK, I now deleted a half-dozen posts. STOP CALLING HIM AN IDIOT. If you can't answer his question, stay the **** out of this thread. That is the only warning you get.

Could be your axle boots.... This happened to me when I was doing my suspension. the boot seal disconnected from the rod and it caused the transmission not to shift. It's someting electronical within the transmission... REmove the tires and move the axles to see if there's any wierd movement.

So resetting the ECU actually did work? Hmm, I wasn't even truly sure if it would. Yeah, in retrospect I shouldn't have said the things I did. So thanks blacksheepdj, we all learned a lesson.

Ok this doesn't make any sense and I'm only doing this so someone else doesn't get the wrong idea of how stuff works.

Axle boots are part of the axle assembly and axle's are related to the tranny only because they are splined at one end and fit into the tranny so the tranny can turn them. The shifting has already happened at this point. There are no electronics on the axle because it is spinning and the tranny is not. Axle boots have zip to do with the tranny. They cover the constant velocity joint on the outside and the inside ones protect a roller bearing assembly.
