Trans fluid dump
OK, so Im driving on the loop 202 (freeway in Az) just got through picking up parts for a 95 Bonnie SC from U-Pull It and my trans started to slip in cruise control @ 80 - 2750 or so RPM's. So she started looking between 3rd & 4th?... I smelt trans fluid so I pulled over! I looked under her and all the fluid was pouring out... I just had her tranny rebuilt not even 3 months ago... What is her issue? She has been shifting fine but all of the sudden this?? Please help
Thank you, Sean

...where is it coming out is the question of the day...
Check out the lines going to and from the radiator(at the attachment points to the trans, radiator, AND the metal lines bolted the the engine)...for it to be pouring the way you say it is, Id bet one of them has come loose.

Sry... Im just so upset (3 months since rebuild) The trans fluis is coming out between the tranny and the engine (looks like more on the upside?)... Also when I went to get her off the freeway I added 4 qts and it was good up to second gear and about 40 or so MPH but it was losing all fluid again? I had to get her done by a tow strap off the offramp... Then I parked her till I had my buddy tow her - now she sits
Thank you, Sean

Line
It is probably a tranny line. I had that happen to me and it turned out to be a short (about 5") line at the back of the engine connecting to the hard tranny cooler line. It didn't cost much to have the dealer replace it.
