tranny line leak

Ever since i got the car running, if i pull the car from park into overdrive it slams me into it, well today i had the front end up off the ground so i could install my air dam. well when i looked up at my k member i had a small drip coming off of it, my exhaust pipe is wet and so are my tranny lines, i believe those run near the exhaust pipe?, so im thinking im loosing tranny fluid, but my dipstick shows full. is there any way to stop my tranny from slaming into gear?

Re: tranny line leak

never, really its only when coming from N to OD now, park to drive seems fine, alittle hard pull, park to reverse is ok, and reverse to OD is alittle hard, N to OD slams hard as hell though, it might be where im idleing at 1000RPMs though correct?
