    Can you pull start an auto? Assuming it's not locked up and if it were something electrical like damaged starter that would prevent it from turning over but all else was fine, air it up and give it a pull, just don't shut it off till ya get to the shop!

    Many don't have torque converters so they must have some sort of clutch system I would guess. Automated shifting transmissions are different than true autos like an Allison aren't they?

    Talk to the new road service. He is sure he can fix it as long as the engine isn’t bad. He wants me to pay him $1400 and he will pick me up in an hour. He won’t accept credit card so it will be zelle

    Good luck! It seems odd that a reputable a wrecker outfit doesn't take credit cards.
