Re: Tranny smell
Why did you have Sea Foam in there in the first place was there a problem with the transmission? There are many parts in the trans that cannot be fixed with a bottle of lube. Also if you overfilled it even a little bit that could cause a problem. It could be the lucas that you are smelling. The burning smell could also be a pressure regulator hose that usually bursts when the pressure gets really high in the trans due to a pressure regulating solenoid failure. The hose could have started burning up somewhere in the trans. The only way I would know how to tell you if that is your problem pther than having it looked at, is to drive the car for about an hour while running erronds, letting the transmission get really hot. If you start to smell the rubber smell with a mixture of burning trans fluid in the car coming out of the vents (which is where I smelt it while the heat was on) you will know ur hose possibly blew. That is the only reason I knew my hose had blown. But the smell came and went and for some reason I did not smell it with the air on only with the heat and only when the car was parked.
