Last night about 12am me and my boyfriend went out to grab something to eat and the car started up fine and drove like it usually does. Today around 1pm I get into the car start it up, let it warm up (since its a older car I have to do that) went to put it in drive and it did not move at all. So I called my dad and he told me to check the Transmission fluid which I did and the stick was practically dry. I went and bought some and put it in (the whole bottle) praying that this would fix the problem but it didnt :-(. Being that I really dont know anything about cars I think I waited too long to put the fluid in (it was lagging for like a week or 2 but it will eventually go after a few seconds) and now my transmission is blew according to what everyone is telling me. It backs up fine but when I put it in drive the only way it moves is if I press down on the gas really hard and only goes like 10mph. The car smokes bad when I do that. I dont understand though because it goes in reverse fine but doesnt drive forward. I am pulling out my hair now from fustration, that was my only transportation. HELP!
