Driving home last night the tranny started shifting funny. Hesitating to shift, shifting late. And by the time I got the car home I could smell the tranny from inside the car. Does this mean my tranny is toast?

What's the fluid look like? Where's the level at? Did it pitch any codes?

Is there a puddle of tans fluid under your car?

The tranny fluid is red and smells like normal tranny fluid. It also looks like there might have been a puddle of something underneath the car. Possibly tranny fluid, not for sure. But if it is that's worrisome. I won't be able to check to fluid level until I can move the car into the driveway and out of the street.

The puddle is tranny fluid. Looks like I gotta a leak.

Make sure to check the fluid level right away. If it left a puddle overnight, you probably lost a lot on the drive home.

Yeah I will here in a bit. Wonder where the leak is.

Maybe your pan gasket started leaking a bit and it just got worse over time?
05-27-2016
You may be right. There's fluid all over the tranny pan and in a few other places. Gotta check the lines now.

I would degrease everything under there and run it and watch it underneath. Then you can find exactly where it's coming from.

My dad & I wiped the underside of the tranny and with the car running found that the leak is coming from this cover. My roomy tells me since the leak is coming from that area I might have a bad front pump seal or cracked torque converter. I'll probably have to take the motor and tranny out to be sure.

Yeah, you will have to remove one or the other for sure to see what happend.
A big job any way you put it.

It's something I was hoping to avoid with the GXP but whatever. If I gotta do it I gotta do it.

Could be the tc seal etc..
05-27-2016
Ohkay cool. So when I do tear into the tranny I'll be checking the TC seal, input shaft seal, the tc itself. I'm open to any more suggestions on what else I should check. And thanks in advance to anyone who has or will offer any input.

Ended up taking the GXP to a tranny shop. They found the leaks and said they can fix it up. Problem is they also told me the tranny is pretty worn now and probably needs a rebuild. I think I might just have the leaks fixed and sell the car. =|

A trans shop telling you you need a rebuild? I'm shocked!
