[DML] Re: Did I blow my transmision? Serious problem!



There is no way to know precisely what it will take to fix until you remove the transmission and clutch and open the transmission. Check the oil in the motor. If the level is good you can assume the puddle IS from the transmission.

The gear shifter was rough and making clanking noises when I'd throw it into 5th. Then my car was consumed in what I can only describe as an oil/rubber/chemical burning smell.

Whatever this liquid is, it was a steady flow drip from under the transmission gearbox casing (located just in front of the oil pan).  The gearbox casing on the bottom where the seam is was saturated in it.
