It's highly doubtful that it will fix itself - I have yet to see that happen on any car. Eventually the transmission and/or the flexplate will leave you high and dry. As long as you are willing to accept the consequences of your decision all you have to do is pray it doesn't happen on a bridge or while straddling railroad tracks. Or when you're on your way home to meet Ed McMahon on the doorstep, to collect that big check...
