The plugins at the trany probably got wet. Just try and pull them apart and blow them out to dry them out.

So I had the same thing happen to me today I have a 95 Chevy 1500 I was driving in New Orleans to go get my check and it was raining really bad and I went through a puddle that was deeper than I thought it was pretty deep like almost to the doors by the time I got halfway through it and realize how deep it was it was already too late to turn around so as I'm driving about 10 minutes later it didn't want to shift right like the gears are sticking I drove it home cuz it started to shift so where I can get it home I'm just wondering if I let it sit and dry out would it fix the problem
