transmission problem
Driving back to work from lunch today and the transmission got stuck in gear and almost got to redline before I noticed it. I immediately slowed down and then it began shifting properly after that. Any ideas?
Thanks for your replies.

Try this first. Also, when was the trans fluid/filter changed last? I would start with the easy stuff and go from there.

I think for 722.9 you suppose to change transmission fluid (not necessary flush) every 40-45k miles.
Between those two actions (transmission stuck in gear and it went back to normal) did you touched (moved) transmission shifter? If you'd accidentally put it in manual mode it would not out manual mode by itself.

It has not given me problems since.
I will do more research regarding how often to change fluid.
Thanks for your help.
