Default Transmission Issues

I have a LT1 trans am, automatic,and the transmission was beginning to slip, then the other week i was coming home and it just started smoking horribly. The mechanic that towed my car said that it could be the transmission because the transmission fluid smelled burnt. Is he full of **** or should i have it rebuilt??

He could easily be correct. If the transmission overheated to the extent that it pushed fluid out the vent it would get on the exhaust.

I don't see how you can get around a rebuild if it is slipping.

If you end up needing a rebuild I would recommend using one of the sponsors here on Ls1Tech so you know what you are getting.

They also have very nice sales going on from time to time.
