That stinks PT88. What were you doing that required you to change your transmission hoses? Can you put the stock 3/8" tubing back on? I wish my '05 Pathfinder had 3/8"... would've made things a LOT easier for me installing the B&M cooler. It sounds like you developed the leak in your garage, so hopefully you didn't incur any damage? Good luck!

I was doing the transmission bypass. I decided to let the car run to see if it would leak and as I faber it a little gas I just stated seeing red transmission fluid pour out. I figured out I didn't completely blow my tranny I was just short on fluid its driving fine now, but I'm still taking it to the shop tomorrow.
