So, I went mudding a few times lately, and if I get stuck I did the rocking back and forth thing. I later found out that that is bad on your transmission. My check engine light came on today and my rpm, were about 500 rpms over what they usually are. The scanner said cylinder 2 misfire and when I pressed the down button it said something about a transmission solenoid or something. We cleared the codes and it drove home fine. Should I be worried about anything? It has been a week since I last went mudding. I have a 98 sport automatic by the way.

Also, if it was a transmission problem, would it be better to fix right away so that no more damage could be done? Or is it just a one thing deal?

Wait... so it threw a code, you cleared the codes, and it is fine now? Driving normal, no more CEL, no misfire, regular RPM's, etc? I'd say you're good. However, I'd avoid rocking it again. If the code comes back, replace said solenoid. They're rediculously easy IIRC.

Yes it was fine for the remaining 15 minutes of my ride home. Haven't gotten it back out yet. Aren't those solenoids really expensive?

I've seen packs run $60. It all depends where you find them.
