tranny problem?!

hey guys. heres the deal. like 2 months ago i ran over a meadian doing like 50-60mph. cars been at a shop for that time and had about 12k in damage to the under carage.. oil pan control arms ect.. i got the car back finaly, while driving home the first day everything was fine, the next morning i heard a funny sound , like a belt or something from under hood. when driving the car stayed in 1st gear and didnt shift. turned off and back on, everything was fine, later at lunch while slowing down, (car downshifting) it went into neautral from like 3rd or 4th gear, i shifted to neatrul and back to drive and it was ok. no trouble codes on the reader, or malfunction lights. i did put rims on the car during the 2 months, from 17s > 19s staggered. anybody have any idea whats going on.

should not be rim related. i heard of rims and tire size mismatch from front to rear affecting cruise control, but not the tranny...sounds like the clutch is out of wack...??

Nothing I have heard of, but it sounds like a trip back to who ever did the repairs. Don't wait too long or they will say you did something to it.
