Default Tranny Problem

Ok, Today me & a friend was on the freeway going ---mph when some idiot tried to cut between us, and i had to downshift (1 time) in order not to run his A$# over. Now my car won't go into that last gear. Right before it tries to change from 3rd to 4th gear it just revs up high but don't catch.(slips). It still leaves the line great & shifts really hard except 3rd to 4th. What Happened? Trans Bad, Need a Flush, or Valve body.

Automatic, 3.73 gears, MSD ignition Box & Coil

you have a burned out OD band. very common problem with AODs. a rebuild is the only fix.
