Hello,
I finally got a Protege 5 a couple weeks ago after years of wanting one...or rather needing one...
It's an automatic. I was on the freeway today and was in manual mode and it suddenly was acting as if it were in neutral. I was slightly accelerating but the car was not responding but the RPMs were going up...just like in neutral. I tried switching back to regular Drive and tried down shifting, but it was stuck. I had to pull over and force it back a bit into Drive. This happened twice today, but so far no problems while in regular Drive. My car only has 43,000 miles.
Has this happened to anyone else? Does it sound like my transmission is going out or something else that's not as major?
Thanks
