[QUOTE="Softballer77, post: 14813584, member: 151898"] UPDATE: The car arrived via carrier to me in Tennessee last night. Took it in to get the windshield replaced (road debris from rallys), then took it across the street to put it on a lift and check everything out. Tranny fluid spray. The "expert" there told me (after I gave him the story) that basically the tranny under such a load and no doubt heat blew the pressure relief valve on the top side of the tranny, thus spraying fluid on the hot exhaust which is where the smoke came from and why i felt a "pop" on the floorboard by my right foot. Now, he told me that once this relief valve or whatever it actually is relieves pressure, that it is made to self seal right back up immediately. The story makes sense to me, but wanted to run it across those here to see if it's concurrable. Otherwise, he said it's just fine. I did have the clutch replaced about 3 weeks ago, and perhaps they topped off the fluid. Maybe it was a little overserviced as well. IDK. Anyways, let me know what you guys think. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
