Q: Transmission problem
I was driving at 2,000rpm (normal speed) in 5th gear. Heard a loud pop looked in my rear view mirror seen white smoke but still had power, pulled over less then an 1/8 of a mile. Looked under the car seen and smelled transmission fluid (gear oil) popped my hood after smoke cleared. Couldn't see anything from the top of the car so I used my road side jack to jack the car up to try n get a better look but wants comfortable to climb underneath so all I seen was leaking fluid. Started my car to see if I had any gears, I have clutch and all 5gears. Then got towed home by a friend.
My car has 45900 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
