Was driving and car lost power, stop switching gears right, seen smoke coming from under car. Couldn't go over 20 mph. I added transmission fluid and antifreeze. I drove car yesterday it seemed fine. 10 minutes later I started car and it really didn't go anywhere when I put it in drive. Felt like something was hold the car from moving.

Good afternoon,

Did you check the level again? It sounds like you have a leak and the fluid is going away.

Take it somewhere and have them check the leak.

If the fluid is full, then, most likely there is an internal failure in the transmission and it will have to be either replaced or rebuilt.

Did you check the fluid level of the transmission?
