I checked my tranny fluid, its the yellow handle below the engine to the right, not the radiator fluid! The color seems to be yellowish-greenish but doesnt smell burnt. I know its supposed to be like red and pink, thats really weird.

maybe it was the st. patricks day flavor of fluid

RED, is what color it should be... very wierd man... burt it would be brown/black is... i dunno

you sure you pulled the right handle there bra?

I pulled the yellow handle out to the right and below the engine. Correct one right? Im gonna skip my 15k service, so i was wondering if i should ask the dealer about the tranny color when i just get an oil change. I mean its the 03 that does not have the extended warranty, and the tranny has been acting fine. Its not brown or black in any way, just yellowish-greenish

Amoeba

any other suggestions?

TE:LL your dealer. It need penicillin or maybe an antifungal. That sounds nasty.
Pink = Good
Black is bad
Burnt smell is bad
Yellow-greenish- ugh!

You might have a leak in the radiator between the engine coolant and tranny fluid. That'd 'splain the color. It'd probably be foamy too.

i better not get any shit for having an aem intake.

when i wiped off the fluid on paper, it is more of a beige color now, called the dealer and they said at 15k that shouldnt be happening, ill get them to check it out soon

Tranny fluid is more clear than red...the only way you're going to be able to see the true color is to pour some in a cup...and I don't think you want to do that.

As long as it doesn't have a pungent smell & as long as it looks 'beige' and not darker...you're fine. With only 15K miles, you should not have anything to worry about. Trust me, burnt fluid has a strong cooked plastic smell.
