97 Maxima. Recently my transmission coolant hose slipped off the nipple(clamp came loose) and I lost my fluid. When this happened I noticed rights away and pulled over, fixed the hose filled it with tranny fluid. It was fine for a couple days till it really started losing power and actually wouldnt move. My dads friend put more coolant in it and was revving it and shifting, it made a loud noise which he said was trapped air coming out of the tranny. It is now driving but seems like something is slowing it down faster when coastin and doesnt have as much power, I have a cat-back exhaust which used to sound nice and even the backpressure in that seems to have gone a little with the power. It feels as if there is something restricting it. ANYONE HELP?
