New Z owner - 9 day old Z, bad tranny...

RyanR · 01-19-2012, 12:50 PM

Well everyone this is my first post. I joined the site when I bought my preowned Z, 09 7AT Touring with 30,xxx miles. Any how long story short, was going to work last night and noticed the trans slip really hard when trying to leave the stop light... Get home this morning to check it out and notice smoke coming from the hood, burnt tranny fluid. Also noticed tranny fluid has been spraying from under the car and saw my trail of fluid going down the road where I pulled into the driveway. This is really irritating since I've only owned the car 9 days. The previous owner was a women and the car is in really good shape, no kinda major service work or nothing, just basic maintenance records and a clean Car Fax... So after searching tranny failures and not really coming up with anything, I thought I would just post it and see what y'all thoughts on this were.

Oh and btw, I'm Ryan and live in southern Arkansas
