Ouch, I hope this isn't anything permanent. Push it off the dolly and 
see if it does better on level ground. I wonder if there's any chance 
that the ATF level is low. It should be between the marks WITH THE 
ENGINE RUNNING and in N.

This makes me wonder if the ATF pickup in the AT sump just managed to 
suck air with the front end tilted up that high. If so, the AT would 
not have been getting the lubrication we were expecting. This would 
have been more likely if the ATF level was already low.
