Weird ATX Transmission leak.

[jmpSHO]

So today I was driving my 94 ATX SHO with about 124k on it and I start to smell transmission fluid and after a few miles the smell gets a little stronger and I can see people staring at me on the highway and I look behind me and see alot of smoke. I am only a few miles from my house and of course it just makes it there. I look under it and I can't really see where it's coming from so I tow it to my garage and jack it up and still can't see exactly where it leaked from. I looked for about 30 min and I gave up and ended up adding 6 quarts of fluid to it and I'm going to let it run and see where it leaked from. Well now it won't leak. I let it run for almost two hours and not one drop. I didn't want to drive it because I don't want to do any more damage to it. My plan is to drop the pan tomorrow and see if anything is ok with the filter. The filter and gasket are fairly new as is most of the fluid. Just curious if this has happened to any one else.

Do these have a modulator valve? I had one go on me in a '76 Ford Elite with a 351w and a c6 trans. it was sucking transmission fluid strait into the intake and would produce prodigious amounts of smoke out the tail pipe. It was like I was laying down a smoke screen.

(I haven't driven an auto trans since this car, about 15yrs.)

anyways, I'd check the vac lines between the engine and trans and see where they went. you may have simular problem.

that modulator valve was attached to the pan on the transmision.
