Water in Houston

Any one in Houston have problems with flooding last night. I drove through about 10" of water to get to my apartment and this morning my car wouldn't go in to gear. I have the 6 speed. has anyone else ran into issues with this car being super sensitive to water?

Well that is a guess. When I got into it it was over the speed bumps in my apartment, and above the curbs. Just didn't seem like enought to be a problem, compared to past experiences. After working with the car, i was finally able to get it in gear. However upon checking the oil at the park and ride, there were bubbles in it. No milkyness though. So maybe condensation?

yeah i would be careful in going over water...go slow...if you think it's too deep..BACK UP!!!
Looks like yours fine. I would change oil for both tranny and engine oil to be sure.
