Man that would be great, if it's something that simple, but things in my life never seem to be that simple, lol...ehhh...
Is there anyone in JAX that can come help me with this?! I don't have much $$ after this buy, but I can buy you lunch. I also have a 01 Trans Am you can pull some parts from, but the good stuff is gone.

No doubt Bro! This is so surreal!
Yeah, that's the only thing I remember seeming awkward, just before my buddy pulled along side me yelling.
I talked to the owner of the Tow company and he requested pics so hopefully he's willing to work things out. One thing though.... Since this is Ram Air, I wonder if **** got fucked up underneath, when the board jacked up into the bumper.
Damn Bro, it's been a little bit since we've talked!
Thanks man, the car has it's issues, need a new paint job (has a sub-Macco on it now) and I need to get rid of that baige interior, but the body is...errrr...WAS strait!
Yeah I still have my other Bird. The plan was to pull the LS1 out of the WS6 and put it in the 98 T/A then put the LQ9 into the WS6, but until this mess gets fix, that's on hold.
So is you woman letting you out of the house now, or what, lol
Thanks Bro!
I'll look into that, thanks man!
I'm hoping that's it 
The stick was seated tight, from what I recall.
Yeah Bro, I hope that's all it is.

You can get a additive that glows under a UV light. If you added some to the trans and ran the car for a short distance, or put it on jack stands and ran it, then you could use the light to locate the leak.
If I remember correctly the trans cooler lines connect to the radiator on the passenger side. If one of the cracked or had a leak you might get fluid around that area.
When you looked was the trans dip stick seated? If a trans gets hot enough it can push fluid out the tube. This can be very dangerous. If the fluid gets on the header it can catch on fire.
How much trans fluid did you loose? Does the fluid smelled burnt? Is it red or brown?
Maybe a trans guru can chime in.
Tow company's have insurance for stuff like this. They will try to refuse and weasel out of it. Don't let them fix it themselves they will try to cheap it out. Many states regulate or license the tow companies so you might have some leverage there.
Good luck.

If the car was still driving like normal, and the fluid it localized to the passenger side, it definitely sounds like a cooler line let loose. the come out of the trans on the passenger side just behind the bellhousing and run along the oil pan, then cross over to the passenger side of the front of the motor and out to the radiator support. The line may have had a weak spot from vibration/rubbing and the higher pressure caused from that pull may have finished popping it. Sucks for sure man, hope that's all it is. That is an easy fix.

With two kids and another on the way, I don't get out much. I sold the SS about a year ago. Moved out of state "for a better paying job" that was a joke. I'm planning on moving back around the end of April. Looking to pick up another lsx car sometime then.

So, did you spot the leak? If not, double check any rubber lines(squeeze them, looking for cracks) and all connections. Sometimes a connection point loosens and since that fluid is pumped, it will gladly and very rapidly, exit.
You can be a little re-assured here. The symptoms you've given are almost always related to lines, coolers or maybe a radiator and almost never directly related to the transmission being your leak. It seems you stopped soon enough to not damage the trans and if that's the case, this fix will be fairly quick and fairly cheap and if you wanna try, you can probably do it yourself in the driveway with basic tools(including a jack and stands).

I certainly understand taking care of mom... Mine just had another pacemaker issue. She's still able to move, so...
No rush anyway. It's not like this is your only outlet to get somewhere... Take your time and enjoy the experience as much as possible. Kinda like takin' mom places...

Well got the Trans Coolant lines fix... 400 ******* dollars later! But now, I think I have a bearing letting go and will soon be a returning member of the Spun Bearing Club!
Here's the thread I've already posted, about it. I don't expect any offers of help from the local members so I didn't bother to post the thread here, but I figured I should update this one for those that were kind enough to discuss the Trans issue with me.
