Question Tranny fluid
smell after driving. Stinks when I get out of my car, on a scale of 1-10 its like a 7-8. Is my tranny going? It's not slipping as of yet and this is my 3rd one. 69K on it (literally).

Thanks guys.

Judging by the high level of stink, I don't think its the transmission. Tranny problems usually come with a level 3-4 stink.
