Did it give you any codes to back up flashing that pesky arrow at you?

Well, maybe it was a temporary bad electrical connection due to the bumps. Especially if it goes away by itself.

I'm not quite as optimistic. If the arrow is flashing then a code should have been set. You'll need a dealer or another shop to read the transmission code(s).

In the meantime check the transmission fluid level and its color.

I'm assuming you meant its halfway between the two marks on the dip stick?

To tandem this... I had a similar issue and created my own post... but cant find answers...
My followup to my initial post...

All right... pulled the dipstick tube...it was cluttered with gunk... cleaned it out.. FLUID WAS able to go in!!!! Yay...

Put in 2 qts... she moved and drove without a hitch or hesitation rather!!!

So I say... TEST DRIVE to myself on the slab...
Go through gearage just fine... no slip or nothing....

THEN... outta nowhere... stalls out... tjrn engine off wait 10 mins... she goes back into gear... yay!! ( I've deduced it's a low fluid issue).

I move 20 ft.. and the driver axle pops out AGAIN!!!
SO, what causes this? 3rd time, 2 axles... and lost 6qts of fluid....
Circlip, Alignment and Torque mount???? Possible struts?

^^^ could this save me a shit ton on a tranny replacement
