Quite an experience I just had.
Driving up the highway, going about 65 mph, got a huge bang, then nothing but rattling vibration sounds. Starts slowing down fast.
Nice burning smell of tranny fluid too.
Manage to limp it off the highway just to be safe, pulled off on a road just off the highway, it's pissing fluid, I can't even see from where.
Check dipstick, it's dry.
Had to get it towed home..
Any ideas what it could be?
Prior to this, for the last 5-6 days, I had weird vibrations above 60 mph, where it would have a vibration for 2 seconds, then stop for 2, then repeat for 2, etc. Associated it to a lost wheel weight.. but I think I was wrong..
Thanks guys, I don't even know where to start tomorrow morning, just shaken up since it threw me into a skid.
