I can feel your pain with the transmission. Was on RT66 in California between Barstow and Amboy heading East and hit a dip that took a chunk out of the transmission pan. Lots of smoke. 3 hours waiting for a wrecker on a Sunday afternoon that took us 100 miles west to Hesperia. Cost us a day but no damage to the transmission which was good. I think maybe 2 cars passed by while we were waiting.
