3 weeks ago all my tranny fluids burst out while running in the highway @ 90mph. had it towed home, checked out the following day, found 6 or more screw got loose. tightened them and had the tranny flushed ( 2x with reg. dextron III and the 3rd is Z1 from honda). the car runs good @ D4 but @ D5 trans slips @ 30mph. engine vibrates also @55mph whether @ D4 or D5 unless you accelerate at that speed. I noticed that engine oil is also leaking underneath by the bolts, where the seal is, at the bottom of the engine. tightend them , but still leaking. please advised me on how to approach this problem.

Hi ricmac007,

The loose bolts and oil leakage indicates a flaw in the transmission assembling and this has caused internal damages. Pressure is leaking internally and the trans would have to be rebuilt or replaced to rectify.
