i haven't had a chance to get the car by autozone or anything for them to scan it...my car has been throwing a 02 sensor code for a while so the SES light is always on...im just waiting for my headers to get in to change the damned things out...looks like i might need to save up for a new tranny..sigh

That's wierd.. when I killed my Tranny in a race the Speedo still worked no problems..
It does sound like a Shift Solenoid, cause if it lost total power, it would go into default mode, basically only 3rd gear.. that could be something there also..

Your tranny has gone into limp mode. It means that there is a problem involving your tranny electronics. If you lost your spedo then check the speed sensor on the left side of the tail shaft housing to make sure its still plugged in. Also check the harness to the tranny to make sure its not cut or burned, and plugged in. Otherwise get it scanned. That should tell the story.
