Just got a 97 audi a4 1.8t 2 weeks ago. 1 week ago an old lady cut me off. It put a hole in my bumper, and I thought that was it. The next day I realize all my transmission fluid is on the ground, and my tranny is making funny noises on idle. Still waiting on insurance :(

I also have a 97 eclipse gs-t. It is out of commission also. The timing belt snapped and bent my valves..

I'm sure that when the accident happened you poked one of the tranny cooler lines or the cooler it self and the tranny fluid leaked out. Sorry about your luck bud.

Sorry to hear about that Sampson. Where are ya from BTW?

Also what are you doing with the Eclipse? I have a 95 Eagle Talon ESi-T that got totaled and I'm looking for a DSM with a good body so maybe you would like to sell it?

I am in downtown Des Moines.
I would lose too much money selling the eclipse broken, so it will just sit until I find the money to fix it, and probably sell it then.
