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?

Looks like yours fine. I would change oil for both tranny and engine oil to be sure.
