Hello,I am Danny.

By any chance when this happened did the Check Engine Light come on? Hopefully a transmission code is stored and that can help the diagnostic process. If you do not have access to a code reader your local auto parts stores have a tool loaner and can rent you one. I have attached a tutorial showing what's involved. Also, was the transmission serviced regularly? Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
