I have a 2002 Mazda Protege5 with 182,000 mileson it. Recently, I got stuck in about a foot of snow and pretty bogged down. As I tried rocking it with the help of a pusher, we realized the wheels weren't spinning. After several attempts, I finally turned off the engine. A few minutes later, I turned it back on, put it in drive and it was fine but for only a block. I had to continue turning off the engine, wait a minute or two and then try again at every block interval to get home.
I checked the Transmission oil level and it is fine. Also, the brake lights are fine as I know this could trigger a faulty response. My check engine light is on steady, but not blinking. The O/D light has come on twice blinking in the last few days as I've tried to figure out the problem. I really don't think it is the transmission on the whole because it came on suddenly, but a wire loose maybe caused my the snow build up underneath the car when I was stuck.
I really need to fix this myself. Any clues. Thank you so much.
