What could have happened?
I just got the new tranny in my car, and we are teaching my g/f to drive, but today something weird happened.
The car was stalled several times in a row, and we started smelling smoke, looking under the car showed that the smoke was not coming from the tranny whatsoever, but coming off one of the cats directly under where the driveshaft plugs into the tranny.
There was nothing on the road that could have gotten up onto the cat, and there was no apparent leakage at the tailshaft. Does anyone have any ideas what could have caused this? Is it normal for a new t-5 to leak a little fluid from the tail? Or maybe the breather on top?
I'll be getting under the car again tomorrow to do some work, so more info may be forthcoming.
HELP.
