asked by on November 14, 2017

Okay on the way home from work today my transmission seems like it was stuck in second gear. Got home parked my car in my driveway which is on an incline to check the oil. Moved my car to the street then check my oil oil is way over the line for safe. Smelled the oil on the rag and it smelled like gasoline. Also as I said previously my transmission seems like it was stuck in second gear I was going 40 miles an hour at engine was running at 4,000 RPMs. After I check my oil got back in the car drove down the street transmission work just fine. What could these issues be?
