Transmission fluid leaking
this might sound a little stupid, but check the bolts on the tranny fluid pan. my buddy's sunturd had a lead and some of the bolts were just loose. we tightened them up and he had no more problems. might be worth a shot.

Have you done any maintenance on your tranny lately? It could only come from a few places on the tranny. The drain plug, the pan gasket or bolts or a hole in your pan somewhere. I would either put the car on a lift or drive it on some ramps to take a good look underneath.

It's the dipstick to the right of the radiator hose on the front part of the engine. It's between the battery and the "S" shaped radiator hose. The ideal thing is to get under there and check it out so you know for sure where it's coming from.
I having some problems with the my 2000 max. I'm thinking that there could possibly be a problem related to the stage 1 nismo clutch that I put in 3 months ago. From time to time, I will have problems putting the car from neutral into first gear or from neutral to anygear for that matter. It just started a couple of days ago. It only happens after I first start it up. When it does happen, I have to turn the car off and move the shifter into first and then start the car. Any ideas from anyone? Or can anyone tell me if a worn clutch could be the cause of my problems?

Yes, that is your tranny pan drain bolt leaking. You fill the pan from the dipstick tube using a small funnel. If you let the fliud get too low your trnsmission will not shift properly if at all.
so i need a new tranny pan bolt or do i need somthing else..........
