trans slipping out of gear leaking fluid

[01GrandPrixTURBOGT]

So I had a mild slip when cold but today its slipping all the time and started leaking a lot of fluid and smoking while driving. How f'd am i?

low fluid will make it slip. top off the fluid if it stops slipping, find and fix the leak.

 

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

Find said leaks, fix leaks, replace loss fluid and see what happens.

Then you'll have your answer.

Cracked differential

 

[Scottydoggs]

thats fixable. in car too.

 

[01GrandPrixTURBOGT]

But if my tranny was already slipping? I mean its a nice chunk missing out of the bottom.

 

[Scottydoggs]

well that being said a rebuild is in your future. sooner just happened vs later.

 

[01GrandPrixTURBOGT]

Figured. So what happened I mean I know what I did but what happen to make that happen

 

[Scottydoggs]

pretty sure a pin in the differential drops out of place, catches the cover and it breaks.

billboost37 has posted some pics in the past.

Could i swap diffs and still be okay for a little bit? The trans temp didnt get over 185

 

[01GrandPrixTURBOGT]

is it worth hd swap? And if so does it change my gears from 3.29s to 2.93s? Does it require tuning if it doesnt change gear ratio?

 

[BillBoost37]

Step one, fix known issues. Did you tear the diff in half and it was slipping, then it cracked the case?

You aren't changing that gear ratio easily. That would require pulling the side cover.

Ok good cause I want the 3.29s. But is it worth upgrading to hd kit? Idk car has been slipping cold start up on take off normal driving but yesterday I was a dumbass pissed of and gave it some throttle and next thing I know I'm smoking get home look under the car and there's a chunk missing from the dif case.
