I remote started my car to warm it before driving it (I live up north, cold). About 10 minutes later I reversed it out of the driveway, put it in drive and nothing. It wouldn't move in drive. This never happened before. Then I put in 3rd, nothing. then I tried 2nd and it allowed me to drive slowly back into garage. The day before the oil light came on. Always have my oil change and car service as required. What's wrong, is the trans gone?
