Ok I felt something weird today when I was driving to work. On the way home I went home with no radio and all sounded well except shifting gears was kinda loud, there is always been a click from the gearbox when moving around the shifter from gear to gear, but for some reason it seems louder today. I got down and looked under the car and there seemed to be fluid on the floor pan behind the transmission. COuld the excessive noise be due to fluid lose in the tranny? Can I loose fluid out of the tranny? HELP!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully I'll get a better look tomorrow.

First of all, can you tell where the fluid is coming from? Speedometer drive/VSS? Tailshaft seal? Vent tube? Somewhere else?

If you suspect a decent amount of fluid has leaked out, get the vehicle up in the air, pull the fill plug on the transmission and check the fluid level.

But thy to let us know exactly where it is leaking from, so we can help you out.

Ok got under the car the other day, and looked around, and it appears that it is just the fluid leaking out of the pinion shaft seal on the differential which I knew was leaking, now I took a good look with at the tranny and it lookes basically dry everywhere, driveshaft hasn't a spot of fluid on it same as where the driveshaft is inserted into the othput shaft so I cannot suspect the tranny of leaking. So I'm guessing that it is just the fluid travelling farther away from the differential.
