After an over heating issue which seemed minor, and was quickly corrected; the trans went into what the owners manual described as "Fail safe mode" (when you shift to "D", it acts like it is in "L4", and will not go into 5th gear). Other then that, it acts just fine. I usually perform my own repairs, and feel I'm pretty good at it (per the high mileage). I am at least 100 miles from the nearest dealer. What should I do ? What are the likely consequences if I continue to drive it ?
