Fellow BlueBird with a Problem with Tranny

[John Suter]

Now that we got the issue posted, usually this "limp
home" feature of the Allison transmission will not
prevent removal from a gear, but, once it is
activated, the transmission will not again return to a
gear for driving. As this is not exactly what you
have described, be cautious as it too may be activated
and once neutral has been selected, the tow truck may
be the only way out.
