I bought a car yesterday, and it drove fine...and it drove great the first 100 mile test drive before I bought it. I smelled something burning a little bit and I'm thinking maybe fluid leaked out. I got home...it was empty on trans fluid...The fluid on dipstick did not smell like it was burning, so I filled fluid back up to proper level and put in Trans-X and it still does the same thing...It shifts from 1st to 2nd great and starts out good...if I have it in OD, It shifts fine until 35 mph and then when it wants to go into gear it free revs from 2000-4000 RPM, and when I have it in 3rd gear *regular drive* itself it free revs all the way up to 5300 RPM. I don't know if running it on empty completley blocked the filter or if I damaged it

  1. Transmission is toast, clutch pack is not working, needs overhaul.


  2. The transmission needs a complete rebuild.
