Smile 350z Automatic Slipping when hot

I got a automatic 350z, went on a test drive everything worked fine. I bought the car, and took it home. Everything worked fine. Until i went on a drive later, in the same day. I drove the car pretty hardly, i accelerated many times. The transmission started slipping, when i stopped the car it needed like 80% gas to move even to 10kmh. The car has 83 000 miles on it.

Does anyone know what is the problem?

Check your coolant:

The comments are pointing you towards making sure your cooling system is working properly as your tranny cooler is in your radiator. Be sure to check the volume and color of your ATF fluid, if it smells burned, change it. Gl!

Regards, 350zK:

Sorry to hear about your Z, especially on your first day of ownership.

The 5AT is a sturdy transmission and rarely fails. Hopefully the problem is internal to only the tranny, possibly the torque convertor.

Google the "SMOD" term, look for images. Pink coolant indicates there is blending of trans. fluid and antifreeze. If this is the case get expert advice and DON'T run the motor.


Peace,
