4l60e smell of burning fluid Took the car for a spirited drive Saturday and noticed on a WOT 2-1 downshift I am getting a slight smell of burning transmission fluid.
Also while messing around at one point the car was spinning hard in first and I didn't lift so it shifted into 2nd gear and got a more noticeable smell. After that I babied the car home.
Fluid in the trans looks and smells fine judging by the stick and the transmission works perfectly otherwise and also worked fine at the drag strip a couple weeks ago.
Does it sound like maybe some excess fluid is just being forced out of the vent and hitting the exhaust under severe load?
