Default Something went wrong at the track!!

I had just finished a run and pulled the car out of gear to downshift and I heard a loud noise...then the car started to shutter a lot. I thought at first it was my driveshaft but I put it in gear and it was running. I drove it home and all was fine (so I thought). My car was smoking on the highway and my brother was following and said that there was smoke coming from the middle of my car. During a shift coming home it would not go into gear and the car started shuttering again. This morning I looked under the car and saw liquid under where the transmission is. It was pink, so I think that it is trans fluid right?????

What do you think it could be...if the car runs and can be driven but is loosing fluid??

Any help would be great!!!!!

you might have hurt the tailshaft seal, or any number of things, obviously if there is pink fluid on the ground, something bad happened. It should be pretty obvious when you look under there. Good luck!!!

Yeah, I would get the car up on jack stands as soon as possible. Look around for the leak. Hopefully you didnt crack the tail shaft housing.
