Here, i'll tell you what my bonehead friend did
#71 under things NOT TO DO
#71 reads - Do NOT spray liberal amounts of WD40 into any and every crevice you're able to find around the front and rear of the transmission thinking you must have washed off necessary oil and something must need lubricated
Mr. Bonehead was washing under his jeep and decided it was a great idea to spray high pressure water god knows where, then when he went to go to the store he was having trouble getting it in gear. It also started making 'weird noises'. So he decided it was a good idea to empty a can of WD40 where ever he could stick the red squirty stick thinking he had washed off some grease somewhere where there was supposed to be grease
/facepalm/
And yes James if you happen to read this or any of the other CCOR guys, it was James#2 with the red wrangler
