Re: Tranny smell

there was nothing wrong with the tranny persay..I just wanted to use the trans tune because allot of people say its really good for cleaning out the trans.An alternative to flushing I guess

The Lucas oil I put in was basically a hail marry for the shifting.When I changed the fluid it was still pretty clean.So the more I rule out the more its looking like a solenoid problem.

The smell I'm referring to I can only smell on the dipstick and the main reason I noticed the smell was I could for a brief time smell it outside the car in the air.Thats what maid me check the dipstick.

I know what burning rubber smells like and this isn't quit that smell.Its the best I can describe it.I was also thinking maybe somehow I accidentally spilled some tranny fluid or Lucas on the manifold but thats unlikely because i did use a funnel.

As I said before I think I will siphon a quart or two out and replace it with fresh tranny fluid to dilute the Lucas.
