try your looking for vacuum lines coming from your engine to your tranny. i'm not sure about the honda auto but with gm there is a vacuum modulator that connects to the engine to cause the tranny to downshift under load.

 

The line for the tranny fluid to the radiator came off? :shrugs:

You have the Honda Technician avatar!

 

do you mean the fluids GONE? or it's dripping? Also a bang and white smoke is never good...probably not tranny related dude Check for compression cuz you MAY have blew something in your motor...ie bent valves, blew piston.

Also what type of vehicle/motor?

 

GM and honda are 2 way different senario's!!

 

that is why i said i'm not sure and i was just telling to look for a vacuum line becuase that is what his problem souned like ie leaking tranny fluid, huge clouds of smoke and car wont move.

 

the engine runs fine i just cant go anywhere , when i put the tranny fluid in it drains out like water. cant see where

edit: when you put it into gear it jumps like your about to go then you lose all of the fluid

edit: just contiunes to rev

hmmm.... i wonder if that's your torque converter. that's what it sounds like also sounds like an axle or your diiferental. man it seems like your in a heap of trouble.

 

Make sure the axel didnt pop out.

 

only way to tell now is to tear her down and getta good look at her internally

 

axles are fine , i have everything tak'n apart from the tranny, everything but this one square bolt i cant take off on the mount. i think ill just cut it off and buy a new one. ill drop the tranny replace the rear main seal and see if this fixes the fluid leak. ill take a look at what i can see inside the transmission.

edit: in your opion could it be the seal? will the tranny go without fluid?

 

the rear main seal has noting to do with tranny fluid. the rear main seals the crankcase at the at flywheel/oil pan from engine oil leaking out. if your leaking tranny fluid why are you looking at the rear main?

 

Sounds like an axle to me...

 

would a broken axle cause white smoke to exit the vehical and engine?

edit: the engine would spin from an axle but no smoke would of been present. remeber the tranny fluid leaks out when you put it into gear

 

why does it say honda technician on your avatar?

 

dad was tech till his death this chrismas , i wanted to take after him

 

sorry about your dad, are you josh "ask me anything"?

 

lol , im josh my dads name was mike , i know most anything about cars but never really came into a tranny problem i had to fix. always gave my dad hard jobs

 

when you dont know somthing you ask for advise and learn for future problems

 

bump , just need to know if a seal could be a problem , what do you think can cause tranny fluid to leak out
