Default Did I overheat the transmission or blow it up?

Did I overheat the transmission or blow it up? boy did I screw the pouch on this.

07 saab97x5.3i awd (same as v8 trailblazor) initialy I think the fronts didn't help then turned off traction control which helped move her.

I got the suv stuck good in wet mud.been jacking up stuffing 2x6 boards old carpet helped a bit.

w/ traction control off I was able to spin the rear wheel at 6K RMP to get it to move this after able to rock her back and forth. did this for about 3 minutes.



It’s still stuck but in a dryer spot.

the dash message was turn off engine or just turn off. Current message is ice road or ice.



Now the gear shift is physically stuck in park the most fordward position. trans. Is stuck in drive on dash unable to press in the gear shift button to shift into park or neutral.



Doe’s this sound like I blew the trans? I looked and didn't see packed mud on the linkage.



Additional message was low oil pro probably burned couple quarts w/ the 3 minutes of abuse.

Thanks for advice.

Sounds more like an electrical short. You probably got Mud/moisture somewhere it doesn't belong.

This would explain the Freeze warning and the lock not releasing on the column for shifter

are you saying to inspect/clean/dry the ABS wheel speed sensors starting w/ the rear?
during the 3minutes of spinning at near redline RPM I believe it never shifted and stayed in first.
thanks for advice

Being stuck like that in mud will reek havoc on sensors. Been there and done that. You could try unplugging the battery and plugging it back in to see if that clears anything. Any check engine light?

You may have more codes if it was on previously. Get a code scanner and see what it says.
