    Well about a month ago i lost first gear then 2nd. I had to manual drop it to first and 2nd for the gears to work. Finally they would just slip. Few weeks i have been driving just in 3rd ( removed TCC fuse)

    Well come yesterday I look out my rear view and see white smoke (faint) im about a few miles away from where i had to get too. No dummy lights so i just drove to where i needed to get. Long story short made it a mile from where i needed and finally it started to slip around corners then it started to slip but still move the car. On the way back home we saw that 1+ mile trail of fluid i left. Checked it out today of course no fluid but when i went under car i could not for the life of me find out where it was leaking from. Its not the lines, the side of trans. Tried to find a crack and i see nothing.

    Any ideas? If i cant do a temp repair then the car will be sold for scrap.
    I dont have the $1800 to have it rebuilt, and even if i could get the financing to get it done, its not worth it. And as far as a junk yard trans. I dont have the time or motivation to do it.

    If your able to pull the trans yourself it should even cost half of that. Just got my trans rebuilt with a few upgrades as well for $693. Sticking to privately owned transmission shops that are known for their work will also make it cheaper. The chain stores like AAMCO charge way to much. Dealership prices are a joke.
    No More GTP for me.

    Not sure if these trans have a breather or not, but it could have over heated and boiled out that.
