Is my transmission toast?
Here's the story: I had my car towed today (lifted onto the back of a flatbed truck) because the engine flooded and it wouldn't start. After having new spark plug wires and a new cap and rotor installed, I drove the car about 20 miles without any problems. Then as I pulled out from a a stoplight, the engine revved heavily and the car barely moved. I drove about a mile and came to a stop, only to find that reverse no longer worked. The car revs a lot but hardly moves. I do not drive it hard, I never race and I perform regular maintenance and I have had absolutely no problems until today. This was the first time it ever behaved like that, it came out of the blue and I am afraid I somehow lost the transmission. The car is an automatic and has 105K miles on it. Does anybody with any mechanical experience know what might be wrong?
Thanks!
