Exclamation Help!

So here is the story, my bf decided he was going to drive with my car in 2nd gear(my car is automatic) and went to pass someone and forgot he was in 2nd gear and revved it up to 5000RPMs, and then check engine light came on as well as ABS OFF light came on, and started shifting hard through gears.
Now when we hook up the OBD it read P0113 which is intake air temp circuit high input, now to me this doesnt match up with problems i'm having, but when you clear the code and that ABS light is not on it drives perfectly fine.....But as soon as the ABS light comes back on it shifts hard.
Anyone??? lol thanks!

try checking the abs sensors to see if they are loose. they are located behing your brake rotor. they will be the only set of wires going to the wheel area. as for the trans. pull out the dipstick if it has one and rub the fluid off with your fingers and rub the fluid between your fingers if it feels rough then peices of metal are falling off. but if it feels a little like sand thats normal wear and tear but if it feels kinda chunky then look at the color of the fluid. if its still normal color then its fine if it brown that means its starting to fall apart and if it black then you need to get a trans. now if its still normal color and shifts hard it might be your shift silinoids. i do not recomend checking them visualy yourself because there are springs and small parts located in same area.
this is only to help not a 100% diagnosis. so try asking others there opinion cuz id hate for someone to have to spend money they didnt have to spend.
