Testing The Transbrake For The First Time! (LSXcalade 4L80e)

What happens here

After the transmission failure, the driver gets back into the Escalade with the laptop still connected. He puts the car into various gears (first, second, third, fourth, and then reverse) to test if any functionality remains. Despite the severe damage, the transmission still engages some gears, allowing them to slowly drive the vehicle. He optimistically notes that the vehicle hasn't completely "tapped out" yet, jokingly comparing it to carrying a delicate box, indicating it still has some life left to get them home.

Goal: Determine if the damaged transmission retains any functional gears for limited mobility.
