I got a hotel and took my kids swimming so they could relax. Tough day for the worrying. My wife called every hotel in West Yellowstone and finally found one. We will head down tomorrow. She got all call from the garage. The guy said the transmission is burned up from what he can see. He is calling in the morning with more details but he told Dawn 95% of the time we are better off with a new transmission. Must not be much more and comes with an warranty. We will see.
I am so tired of thinking about all of this that I cannot believe I am going to ask more questions. But here goes. Tom said the transmissions are built to handle the high RPM of 2000 I was trying to maintain on hills which was a speed of about 50. So if the transmission was slowly dying would that create stress on the engine and the temps I was seeing?
