Hemmoraging Trans fluid
Crusing along south on 131 today and suddenly I need my wipers, it isn't raining nor is there water on the road. I pull over kill the motor and set my 4 ways. Pop my hood and there is trans fluid EVERYWHERE :disappoin Yep its all over the ground too. :wtf: I am going to pick it up tonight. Any ideas? What would cause such a massive failure. I wasn't losing speed or anything. What happened. Please help me!!!!!!!!

Check the short little hoses that attach to the radiator at the bottom, those are the transmission cooling hoses, I'll bet one split and was spraying fluid up and out and not enough was lost to affect tranny operation (which is GOOD).
Are you in Michigan? US131 is in Michigan....just wondering! |

You had said tranny oil everywhere but tranny seemed fine. Thats what made me think PS lines.
Man. So sorry to hear that. At least the car let you know by the oil spray all over your windshield. Let us know how things work out. I'm going to check my lines.;) Cheers, Bill |
