Subject: transmission problem
Question: mitsubishi eclipse ,1.8,auto. i came to a stop light and when pressing the gas my car would not move. we put tran fluid and moved it home where it leaked all the fluid out.would this mean its a bad tranny or could it be fixed at home.no repair problems so far.
Answer: Orlando,
Sounds like you have a oil seal or a transmission cooling line that is leaking. Unless you are familiar with maintenance and repair of Japanese transmissions, you may have to leave this problem to the professionals to fix. The parts to fix this problem should be cheap, but you may be paying a lot for labor. Call around first and get estimate prices for transmission work for your car. You may save a few bucks.
Good luck!
