I was on 401S. Hauling along and came up to a school bus on a downward slope just past Ten-Ten Rd. I stepped on my brakes, and they were almost nothing. I did the only thing I could do to stop the vehicle from hitting the stopped school bus. I slammed the shift into Park. I had to have the tranny rebuilt. Still WAY cheaper than hitting a stopped school bus.
