    My trans lost all fluid!!

    Ive been in miami on vacation for the past 5 days and i left my car at an audio shop getting a sound system installed. The guy calls me this morning saying that my car was spilling trans fluid and that it was copmpletely empty. WTF! The car has just been sitting there. Anyone ever heard of this?

    Sorry to hear about your leak, it's a quick fix at the dealer, lots of us have had this problem. O rings leaking at a connector block on the transmission. Here's a post I made when mine had this problem.

    Thank you LXForum members.

    For some reason, the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off come to mind. I heard of the torque converter draining over a period of time. Takes a few seconds to get back to normal. Wild Guess...
