There was a burning smell. I was "pulled" out of the…

Drove the car to work slowed down behind another car to let them turn and the car stalled like as if the car was in neutral, i pulled over because it never happened before turned the car off and then restarted the engine and drove about 10 more minutes to work. Later on that day after my shift was over took it to a mechanic who scanned for a code which read p0741 in his words meant transmission issues. *tr

While driving on the interstate my car lost power from the engine. The rpm's went higher but there was no power even though the engine continued to rev. There were no warning indicators on the dash to try to understand what was happening except for the rpm gauge. The transmission had completely disengaged just as if it were in neutral even though it was in 'drive'. The scariest part was that i was stuck in heavy…
