[A930Rocket]

So, Ms Rocket is on her way home from working as a traveling nurse in New Hampshire. She’s in stop and go traffic and when she hits the gas pedal, nothing. The engine works, it just won’t go anywhere. She calls 911, state troopers show up, they stop traffic, and then push the car from the fast lane to the breakdown lane.

She’s in Sturbridge, which is south of Worchester, Massachusetts.

Today, I was going to call our transmission shop here in Charleston, to make an appointment, to have it looked at next week. Instead of a $2500 rebuild, now we are going to scramble to find a place up there to rebuild or replace it and probably pay twice as much.

When she was having starting problems a month or so ago, we had the park/neutral switch replaced, which is inside the transmission, so we have a filter and fluid changed at that time.

This is a 2015 Tahoe, and she’s at 180,000 miles or more, so the transmission doesn’t owe us anything. Last time, it was her 2010 Tahoe. Just bad luck that she broke down up there and not at home.
