That is some of the worst fluid I have ever used. It even smells burnt out of the bottle.

Maybe they have different vendors making their fluid? I bought some about 6 months ago, and put it in the trans before I realized it had a nasty odor to it. It was a nice pink color, but just smelled like it was burnt down. I ended up flushing the trans to get that stuff out of there.

Its hard to tell the condition of the fluid if it already stinks right out of the bottle.
