i drive a 1978 firebird, i just recently hit a rock that tore a nasty hole it what i think is the transmission pan, i believe this because all the red fluid was draining out and i couldnt park it or i would step on the gas and it would just rev up. whats wrong am i right? how much do fix it in a shop/myself?
 
You have no fluid in it. Replace pan, add enough fluid, your good to go. Can't tell you how much fluid, Cuz I don't know how much you lost.
 
Sounds like you have ripped a hole in the transmission pan.You should be able to get a new pan for the transmission and replace the filter and gasket at the same time. The pan could cost from $35 -$75 and the filter kit and fluid will cost about $50. You could do this yourself and save the $100 that a shop would charge in labor... plus you would not have to pay the tow bill to get it there..

Good luck with your repair.
