i was revving my car in Park. an it slipped into reverse coz its a bit iffy. and now when i put it in drive it revs to about 3 before it goes anywhere and takes off realllly slow.. possibly 3rd gear take off? i pulled over and wont take off in 1 its just like being in park stops and revs.. got home and trans fluid was pissin out.. the gearbox was reco like 2 years ago and has 2800 stally.. and stage 2 shift kit.. any ideas on what could be wrong?? thanks

Where is the fluid coming out?

maybe torque convertor? top it up with fluid and see where it is coming out of.

um its all over the gearbox mainly around that flat bit on the bottom? not sure what its called liek sump maybe?

mine has an oil leek in the gearbox sump thing 2...but i dont hav 2 rev it 2 third gear b4 it moves...

mine does the same thing sometimes, its getting worse only no fluid comes out?

If its taking off at 3,000rpm then it wont be taking off in 3rd at all... it will be quite the opposite... I got no idea about autos really but either your stally is buggered (if its possible) or your box has had its ringa thrashed out of it and is just slipping badly i'd be getting it checked asap

Looks like its on its way out. Mine was doing that for a good day before it decided to give up.

Autos are cheap. Throw it out and grab a cheapy from the wreckers. Costs more to diagnose the problem than to replace the piece of ****s.

Does the car shudder at 3000rpm?? It could be any number of things, try putting it in power mode (if your tricked up auto still has it) see if that makes any difference or just go to the wreckers and get another box and transfer all the shift kit and stuff over.

take the pan off and have a look. it might be something as simple as a blown gasket as this can happen. this would let the oil out and therefore letting the gearbox slip up. It will be slipping because of the low oil more than likely if it was reconditioned and hasn't been thrashed. You could take it into your mechanic and get them to tighten up the bands which would probably cost 100-150 bucks if that's all that's wrong. A new gasket and auto service kit costs about 30 bucks from repco by the way.

rev i up to about 5grand in neutral and drop it into 1st. worked for my mate lol.
