The underside and rear of the car were pretty clean with no ATF splattering, so hopefully the failure didn't happen until he stopped, preventing him from having pumped the trans empty and damaging it. Actually, the underside of his car is unbelievably clean. From below you'd never guess it grew up in Ohio. My car, also from Ohio, looks nice on the shiny side, but the undercarriage is definately suboptimal. Odd how that happens.
