my Z broke down

sideburnZ · 05-26-2009, 07:32 AM

hi guys! the leaks came from my tranny hoses, its located near the front left wheel. the fluid that spewed out was my transmission oil, its reddish in color. i thought it was clear when it happened that day. maybe i just got color blind that noon...hopefully my transmission is not damaged from it. the mechanic concluded that maybe the clamps on the hoses were not that tight and pressure was building up so boom..factory defect? we still havent tested anything yet as we are still waiting for my transmission fluid..can i use 350z tranny fluid? importing 370 matic s fluid from japan is very expensive...i hope my trannys not busted or anything. is there a safety cut off when things like this happen? thanks again...
