Atf Temp sensor / tranny fluid smells bad
ok so my atf temp sensor is going 2 get replaced in 2 days cuz the last one got burned or something..and my mechanic smelled the tranny oil and he said it was burned and needed to be flushed..i was reading some posts that i shouldnt flush my tranny..i was wondering if you guys can give me a better understanding of flushing it and drainin it? for example wut am i suppossed to tell Jiffy lube when i go there for service?

flushing a 2nd gen tl or any other car with high miles is not good. you can dislodge some really old stuff that wont drain out of your tranny and jack up your seals. do a 3x3x flush and refill.

that means that no one took care of it.
theirs a company that can do a fluid sample check and tell u whats in your fluid. so when u drain it send some out to them, they give u what u need to send it out. can remember what the companys called, just came across it on one of these threads on here.

Your sensor didnt get burnt, Especially from the fluid. The sensor failed. Dont have a trans flush done. Have the fluid drained and have it refilled. If you want completely new fluid you will have to buy between 9 and 12 quarts and drain, fill, drive for 5 min making sure it shifts into each gear and repeat. This can be done in your garage/driveway (the drain fill) without any special tools.

Recycle it. Find a oil recyclers and bring the fluid to them
