Hi Martin Luther King Jnr

I am presuming you lost all fluid, and the car would then not drive. Am I right?

Can't imagine why you would think it would drive ATF out the filler hole. The likelyhood is you have a split or bust hose. Maybe if you have an aftermarket filter or cooler, one of your connections was not secure enough for the pressure.

In the case of a sudden loss of fluid because of a leak like yours seems to be, then the tranny will not drive. The car would stop, but no harm should come to the tranny. You fix the broken hose, refill with fresh fluid and away you go!

Hope this is the case and you have no further problems.

Joe
