One the way to work this morning, my car wasn't shifting very well. Very high rpm's followed by a whirriling noise.
Then, I seen some smoke in my rear view mirror in which I exited the freeway to park my poor car.
After I waited until it stopped smoking (it was coming from the right hand side of the engine).
I checked the tranny fluid and it's red, with black on the dipstick.
After waiting for 1 1/2 hours I was able to get my car towed and I was able to borrow a car until after work. My friend thinks it's one of the tranny cooler lines that runs back to the radiator. That would be strange, they were just replaced in January this year when I had a new radiator installed.
I have the 1995 V6 Duratec Automatic. Anyone have any ideas? Does it sound like a radiator line to the tranny? It isn't going to go anymore. When you put it in gear I get nothing.
So, either I need a new tranny line to the radiator, or they said they could rebuild the tranny.
Any ideas?
