I just bought this car and after the 3rd day of driving it all the transmission fluid came flying out of it. I found that the transmission fluid line hose popped off. I have been putting the fluid back in it and it is driving now, but it is not shifting properly and it seems when the engine gets warm it does not shift at all I can only go about 30 to 35 miles an hour. I don't know what to do?

If the leak is repaired, be sure you're measuring the fluid level while the engine is warmed up and idling in neutral or park. Instead of just pulling the dipstick out and looking at the level, wipe it off first, then stick it back in to check the level. Fluid will splash up on the dipstick giving a false reading.
