sticking trans?

yesterday i was coming onto I-15 didnt make it off the on ramp and struck got stuck in 3rd gear and stayed at 3,000 rpms and stayed there blowin smoke like i have never seen in 80E... i let my foot off the pedal and it shifted and stopped.

just went for a drive and it did the same thing same speed/rpms... did it again in 2nd at about 35mph stuck and smoked like crazy.

PS: i turned the tuner to stock and did the same test, did not stick or smoke at all.

thanks for the help in advance guys and gals!

This is a strange one. Did you check to make sure the chip is still tight on the pins of the PCM? This may be a question for Jody.

I would talk to Jody about this. He would have the most knowledge to help you. Good luck.
