I have a 727 and was backing out my driveway the other day when I saw smoke and a trail of fluid on the ground in front of me. I tried to get the car back up into the garage and only made it half way before it wouldn't engage anymore. Quickly turned it off and pushed it the rest of the way in. It looks like a hose disconnected. My question is though, since apparently the entire transmission peed all over my driveway until it was empty, could trying to drive it back in for those few seconds have caused any serious damage? We're talking like maybe 10 seconds from the time I noticed it leaking until I turned it off after it stopped moving.

Not likely unless it was already on its last legs, fix the house and fill it up!

I put a new roof on and new carpet in the bedrooms and the car still won't move.
Now what?
I agree, just fix the hose and fill it back up.
Once the pump sucks air it can't burn anything up because it can't apply anything.

LOL.....firkin auto correct.....hose not house.....
My next question is, what kind of fluid do I use? I see a lot of people say type F, others say Dex 2 or atf+4. All I know about what was in it before was that it's red and all over my driveway. I was planning on using type F but wanted some opinions.

Any of them are just fine, but type F has a bit firmer grab when it shifts.
There are craploads of oppinons.

I know I'm right....
Type F is the oldest fluid out there. Dex2 is better, ATF+4 is best but overkill on that trans (non lockup). Dex2 is probably bout the closest to What Mopar specs.
