Re: IML: 81 trans burn smell

[Matthew Gill <mgill3@xxxxxxx>]

Well,

I think i may have caught my trans before any serious issues. I've  
done a google search about having a burn smell, and brown looking  
trans fluid. It may just appear that way because it's old, and  maybe  
the burnt fluid is recent because of the leak and it being low, thus  
causing increased temperature etc.

Hopefully it's OK mechanically. Like i said, i haven't heard any  
noises out of the trans, so i'll just have the pan removed, new  
gasket & filter etc, and fresh fluid put in.

I've seen different trans fluid pans online that are larger and  
deeper, and hold more fluid. Apparently, having that will allow you  
to hold more fluid, and it's supposed to keep everything running  
cooler. Is this a good idea? I'm considering getting one.
