auto trans fluid does have a smell, its disgusting. i love the smell of gear oil and used motor oil, but ATF churns my stomach for some reason. has that rose smell

there was one time i changed the trans on a Ford Explorer, and the old trans was absolutely toast. as in the oil was pitch black. i forgot i didnt drain the stupid thing and tipped the output end down, got at least a gallon of burnt trans fluid allover me. and it soaked through my coveralls onto my shirt, everything. it smelled so horrible and it didnt go away for days

That was my first line of questions as well!

That'd be a lot of fricking sludge!!!

Eh, just take your time and pay closer attention next time. I'm with you though, a lot of this is new to me and seems very backwards. I just bought my first import a little over a month ago. ALl I have to say is THANK YOU! Better you than me huh?! I now know what NOT to do!!! You gotta admit though, this is a classic!

Eh, it happens! But it's pretty funny!



Come on, ish happens man. These imports are "foreign" to us Domestic guys. I can see myself with a couple beers in me thinking, "maybe right now is a great time to change my oil on the new Maxima....hiccup."

Hey, just leave to extra oil in it. If it is like most 3.5 engines, it will use it up anyway.

Haha, that's quite a bit of extra oil! But the 3.5's burn a lot of oil though?

Well, we all start learning somewhere. Some with oil changes.

I did a transmission oil change and I experienced the same problem.
after draining the transmission oil from the driver side, I added new oil from the dipstick.
Since I notice that the level was to high, I opened the oil pan but nothing came out.
Why is happening?

PS. I recently bought this car, and I think the transmission oil change has never been done.the oil was dark brown

When you drop the fluid you should measure it and put that amount back in. Start the car, move the selector through the gears, check the fluid in P (or N) to make sure you aren't too low, drive the car to warm up trans., check fluid again.
