Don't Get New Tires!

Well, I got a set of tires Saturday and on the way home, the transmission started acting up. Leaving from a stop-light, I had to rev it up to 1500RPM's to get 1st gear to engage (automatic E4OD). 233,000 miles and now it looks like the new tires have ruined the transmission. Dang it all.

Dont feel bad man....My sister bought brand new tires for her 94 Saturn and on the way home her engine threw a rod through the side of her engine block. No warning or anything. Sorry to hear of your transmission issues though, Im still workin on mine gettin rehung in the belly of the beast.
