omg, so i started up my car today and started to drive it and i noticed that the rpms were kind of high. sooo i stopped at the light and noticed i wasnt moving forward at all.. so i give it a little gas and the car acts like its in neutral.. so i give it more gas and it sorta catches on and SLOWLY moves... its like my transmission is jacked or something.. then i smell a wierd burning smell and i pull into the corner gas station and open the hood.. aparently my engine is smoking... i have no idea wtf is going on or wtf i shud do.. help

 

go to a shop.....that sucks bro good luck!

 

EDIT:

Just noticed you have an AT.

I had the same instance in an automatic trans myself one time before. It was a hydraulic pump in the transmission that went bad. The dealership ended up replacing the entire transmission under warranty.

 

When you stop at the light.. i'm pretty sure you don't wanna move forward.
did you remember to shift? sometimes i feel empty headed on a bad day and forget to shift cuz im used to driving auto.

 

i dont have a manual im a 5at'er so i SHOULD be rolling forward... and i shudnt have a clutch lol

 

yikes! Well.. i don't know if a Z has those mountain power control crap (that - and + thingy) but did u make sure the shifter wasnt left on there? Cuz i kicked my dads power thing before in his lexus and all it did was rev really high but grounded no power what so ever.

what + - thing? lol.. aaaah im so confused and im like tripping out... i cant afford to fix this crap

 

oh god someone help me

 

take it to a dealership or any good local shop to check it out

 

hydrolic pump eh? ya i got a warranty... just kinda worried that they might charge me for something random or blame it on the intake

 

im so sad

 

Other than being annoyed, I wouldn't be worried unless if you've done something retarded with your transmission. The dealership should take care of you without a problem.

 

If your worried, just remove the PC and put the stock box on.. Even if you didnt have it, I doubt they would blame that for your tranny not working.
Is your Z still covered under warranty?

 

its an 03 with 30,000 miles.. i believe the tranny warranty goes up to 60,000

 

not the best pic bet eh

are you sure u didn't shift into those? if so.. than DAYAM!

 

Ya your fine. Take it in, warranty will cover it. Even if you did abuse it, deny it and say you baby it.
Pop charger wont affect it.

Good luck!

 

i drive rarely on the autostick. lol i know when im driving in manual mode :P

 

LoL! nice pic, haha

 

rofl

 

the problem is, that it doesnt shift right in auto OR manual mode... its always at 4-5k rpms... thank god the drive home was like half a mile. the smoke from the engine was freaking me out too.. it looked like a person breathing in a cold night.. not dark smoke.. it was freaky as hell
