    2011 Raptor SCrew--Trans Downshifted to 5th and Stuck There

    So, this evening on my way home from the office, I'm cruising up the freeway at 75-80. Pretty much flat road, roughly constant throttle position, and I suddenly feel a hard thump, and the RPMs go up. I suspect the trans has just downshifted to 5th, though there is no reason for it to do so...
