i have a 700r4 and smells burnt. should i change the filter and fluid or leave it alone?
-
What color is the fluid? Is it slipping? When was the last time it got changed?
-
fluid is pink i changed it and filter a week ago burnt smell is less.tranny hasnt slipped or anything still works great.just worried about the smell.it used to be a big nasty smell,but not i cant smell it unless i pull the dipstick but levels great and has a faint smell
-
What color was it before you change it? If it isn't slipping you should be ok...
-
Keep in mind if you just pulled the trans pan and changed the fluid/filter that didn't change all of it. The torque convertor holds about 4 quarts just by itself...
-
how can i change all of it
-
you have to drain the converter.

Here its a trick I learned from an old wise man... Take off both Trans cooler lines from the radiator, put the bottom one in a bucket and the to one in a bucket of Trans fluid turn the engine on and keep filling the bucket up with Trans fluid till the bottom line is a good red color. Did this to my other vehicles its not to hard.
