i was driving home right now & while i was getting on the freeway i tried to speed up, car dropped a gear or so, revs went to about 4.5k -5k&all of a sudden i heard a small, kinda like a whistle sound (not the s/c) & then when i was about to move into a lane & looked in my side view mirror & i saw i big huge cloud coming from my car.. i mean a HUGE F´n cloud, kinda felt like a fog machine for a sec haha even the smoke came into the car & i smelld oil.. freakin car broke my heart :/ .. So i got to the closest gas station checked under the car to see if something was dripping but nothing.. check under the hood, checked engine oil, correct level, check tranny level & once i took out the dipstick i saw on the dip stick little bubbles which was weird, i checkd around the tranny from the top & there it was.. a big leak on top of my tranny right under the crossover from the headers :/ well at least the tranny oil was there & figure it came from there since when we installed the headers my friend told me something i never saw... that i was missing a bolt from the tranny.. i didnt take it seriously since ive had the car for about 14 months already & thankfully nothing had happened :/
ever since i installed the headers a bunch a probs started popping up
misfires (FIXED), crappy ass mpg, abs sensor wires broke off, idle goes up & down a bit, &Now..............
THIS !!
!
my tranny will slip at times.. & once i checked the level oil after we installed the headers & when we removed the tranny dipstick a bunch of oil came out, i mean a lot, i went an bought a Qt. poured it in.. & it marked correct so i left it like that.. then i read here on the forum that sometimes the dipstick will tell you that you have the correct tranny oil level but in reality its not right :/ so afters some days my friend told me the same thing happend to him (READING CORRECT LEVEL BUT WASNT REALLY CORRECT) i checked it again then poured in another Qt. the tranny didnt slip as much from then so i was happy.. BUT NOW THIS HAPPENED
.. its my Daily Driver & i dont wanna ride it like that, obviously...
also another thing this happend approx. about 25-30 miles from home & i even raced a ricer on the way to drop off a friend at her house, i still wiped him all over the freeway, dropped her off & i still got home with no probs (meaning my tran or motor didnt go boom).. thats the only good part
what should i do?
& I imagine for no freakin reason to drive my car for now..
Thanks people..
when we took out the dipstick on the tranny & the atf spilled out ( alot of it did) i went to auto zone & bought a Qt of dextron VI, then when i when i checked it again after hearing about the dipstick shieet & went to a nearby mobil gas station & bought a Qt of Dextron.. but now it was DEXTRON III..
just putting in some more specific info on that.. if it helps with a solution :/
