tranny fluid question I have a Vigalante 3200-3400 stall in my car with the largest tranny cooler we could fit on the car. I dragrace it on Sundays at T & T. When I checked the tranny fluid the other day it smells burnt. But the fluid isn't discolored at all. I'm running the Raybestos Z-Pack clutches and the extra wide 2nd gear band and the tranny has less than 4,000 miles on it since the rebuild. What can cause this? Am I not letting the tranny cool down enough between runs? Will an engine with the hood open cool down before the tranny does? How long do I need to let the tranny cool down between runs? I know I probally need to change the fluid and filter but I don't think that doing that would get all the fluid out. Do I need to get it flushed? I run regular tranny fluid. I do not like synthetic.

If the fluid is not discolored i wouldnt worry about the smell for that reason .
Do you have anyway of actually seeing your trans temp , And do you have a cooler ?
do the shifts feel quick and firm even at wot
