interesting example.....my tranny did go into a self protect mode,  as described my the mechanic...shifts really hard...it was pushing the pressure up to keep other things from failing I suppose...now it shifts puuurfectly....albiet $2500 later....

  
For example automatic transmissions have a "limp-home mode". When the
conditions indicate an error that's not specifically recognized, the
transmission typically goes into 3rd gear and stays there. (The rationale
is that you can go wherever you need to go to get it fixed in 3rd gear.)
