Exploded Transmission Line??
Blew out a hose? or something sprayed trans fluid all over exhaust in my 2009 base model roadster automatic - decided to grab second on the freeway and hammer it ran like a banshee but then BOOM smoke everywhere blew a trans line or something back there and it sprayed all over the exhaust and the back of the car. parked it then came back NO Go into drive at normal idle. but if you gas it in gear it'll kick into gear and drive with no noises but it is not happy when stopped or between shifts
Any ideas of what blew - are there soft lines back there that might get hot and wear out and explode under super high pressure?
thank you all in advance!

It could have blown a hose or maybe there is a pressure relief valve that could have popped off. Either way you obviously do not have trans fluid to make it move at low RPM so my advice would be...DON'T DRIVE IT!!! Either add fluid yourself or get it to a shop (hauled, not driven) and top off the trans. While it is on the rack you can check for hoses, etc.
