Transmission issues: Car got stuck, now seems fine...

[fauch]

Well I drove the car for the rest of my trip without so much as a hitch. Only had to top off the fluid once and not even a quart and I was driving it under unpleasant NYC traffic conditions. So either it was leaking for a LONG time and it just coincidentally hit critical when I was driving it or there was some set of circumstances that caused a major leak that was not present under normal conditions.

Now if my father chooses to fix it, it is up to him...
