Question Tranny smell

Hey guys.I did the tranny change the other day to get out the SeaFoam trans tune.I added two bottles of Lucas Oil to the tranny per the instructions(says to add a second bottle if one doesnt do the trick in bigger trannys)

I have added Lucas Oil before and one bottle never seemed to do anything so I went ahead and added two this time right from the get go.Now the old fluid looked almost new so that tells me there wasn't much in the way of gunk in the tranny which I guess is a good thing.

Now heres the problem (possible problem) I am getting this weird rubbery smell on the dipstick when I check the tranny fluid.Is this a bad sign of anything or could it perhaps be just the Lucas Oil giving off that smell?

And if it is a bad sign should I siphon out a quart or two of the fluid and put fresh fluid in the water down the Lucas?

Thanks for your input guys.
