So I was taking a "spirited" drive home from Palm Springs yesterday. The first hill section of the drive is quite steep and windy. So I had my 5 in 3rd gear for the majority of the drive up the hill. Probably around 10 minutes or so, switching in and out of 3rd and 4th, but mainly staying in 3rd. Then as I neared the top, the 5-AT stopped working. Meaning, the display in the cluster that shows you what gear you are in went blank, and I couldn't manually shift gears anymore. As I continued to drive, I kept switching in and out of manual to see if it was working. It took around 20 minutes before it started working again.
Has anyone experienced this? I'm guessing it's some kind of preventative measure the car takes to save the tranny. Although I've done this drive before without any issues.
