auto tranny spits fluid out fill tube - why?
Posted: Tue May 21, 2002 11:49 pm
About two months ago I stopped at a stop sign and it felt like a car tapped me from behind (none did). The transmission made this wild slam into a gear (it had never done that). I drove for about a half mile and noticed white smoke out the back end. I thought the bus was dead but instead this was the first instance of fluid flying out the fill tube. I thought that something must be plugging up in the transmission. I drained it, cleaned the filter, put in new fluid and noticed nothing visible. Of course there is not much to see. The problem has continued and just when I think that I have it solved it started spewing fluid again. I now have a plastice bag over the fill tube that I check once a day and usually it has half a cup of fluid.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I don't want to kill the transmission but I can figure what to do next.
Thanks for any help!!!
