I have $20 riding on a bet you have not had your transmission serviced at 30-50,000 mile intervals.

Do you mean it “caught on fire”? If so, you have worse things to worry about than how it shifts. If you mean it won’t start, have it towed to a shop and have your wallet handy.

I think your $20 is safe I think another drive by with no return with any answers.
