Please help me. We were on the road and suddenly engine rpm jump to 5000 rpm, smoke started coming out and the engine temperature pegged. We pulled over to the side of the the NJ TPK. When I opened the hood, there was lot of oil on the transmission side of the engine.
This transmission was put by an independent ATRA shop which is still under warranted but I am at least 500 miles to that shop.
After the smoke stopped and after I checked all the fluids, I was able to put it both in reverse and drive. I decided that I was not going to stay on the side of the road. I was brave enough to complete my journey to my brother and sisters house in Northern Virginal. Shifts were erratic but at least there was no slip. P0740 showed up but I reset it and it did not come back until I reached NOVA.
However, after reaching here in Northern Virginia, now it is behaving very bad.
The transmission fluid smells badly burnt and has no red color at all. After the overnight, when I checked the fluid level, it is between the two holes on the dipstick.
Over the years, I have have been a good contributor to this forum. Would somebody take pity on me and provide me the link to the documents on how to replace the transmission fluid? I know there is nice pictorial here but in my frazzled mind, I am not able to find it.
Any support or help that you can provide will be highly appreciated it.
Thanks,
- Vikas
