well, checked the tranny fluid. dip stick was clean as clean can be. Not even a drop. tommorow, the car gets towed to my fathers shop. I may be screwed. Maybe not. How much is a new tranny? I put fluid in the tranny, turned the car on and it made a whistling sound and flew out on the ground (the fluid). Must be a hose. Hopefully its cheap (under $500, at this point). At least it looks pretty sitting where it is.
