An indication of overheating of some sort. Could be caused by a number of things. Clutch slipping, whether from normal wear and tear or from driver riding the clutch. Also, could be caused by the transmission being tasked beyond it's limits, like towing or carrying a load heavier than the vehicle is rated for.

Does tranny honey work?
No, once the transmission clutches are burned up they must be replaced.
Can transmission oil mess up engine?
I know I have had an engine that develops a tick, this is just a sticky rocker are usually, and adding a quart of automatic transmission oil will cure this. So if you have only put in a small amount, it should not be a problem, but if you have put all transmission fluid in, it could be a major problem. If you have put ATF in the engine, it may not provide the proper lubrication and you could have serious damage. If you put gear grease in (from a manual transmission) this is too thick for the engine to handle and problems will arise from this, plus you will have the most un-god-awful smell you have ever smelt.

What happens when oil burns?
For one thing, you will smell it. It smells kinda' like tar. You will also have smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. Your spark plugs will also look kinda' black from burning oil because the oil is probably being burned with fuel. I'm not sure about this part, but I think that oil is probably getting into the pistons of the engine. That would mean you have a leak somewhere. I think this can usually be fixed by replacing the gaskets. Call an automotive store for more specific information.
Where do you put gear oil in a manual transmission on 1988 d100 truck?
The D100 probably has the 3 speed standard transmission. If so, it doesn't use gear oil in the transmission. It uses Dextron II or III. The fill plug is found on the side of the transmission about half way up.
How does oil transmission cap look like?
1st of all the term is transmission fluid and 2ndly the transmission does not have a cap. The cap that you are incorrectly referring to is actually the stick you use to monitor the levels of the fluid and its housing is the mechanism you utilize to add transmission fluid if needed. Since you don't know, obviously the vehicle must be running when checking the fluid. The oil cap will say or state oil, however the transmission stick will not. hope I've been some help to you. Good luck.
What signs will a car have to indicate that transmission needs to be flushed?
transmission oil will be dirty, blckish and more than likely smell like it is burned
The car sometimes drives like it is in neutral?
Check the transmission fluid level. If it's up, check if it's burned. Burned transmission fluid will look darker and smell burned as well. If it's burned, the clutches are worn out.
What color is burned transmission fluid?
Typically, it'll be black or something close to it once its burned. It always appears brownish to me and has a very bad smell. The smell more than anything let's you know the transmission have overheated and the fluid has been burnt.
What causes a smell of exhaust or burned engine oil from the air vents of a 1998 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T?
I had the same thing. There is a oil pressure gauge leaking causing it to drop right on the exhaust. Go get a Oil pressure sending unit about $7. Real easy to repalce and it will stop the smell. Might want to do a engine bright clean to get it all off. You should see oil pooling on top of the transmission.
How do you know for sure that it is a rear seal leak?
Get some on your fingers. If Red it's Transmission Fluid if you have an Automatic. If you have Manual Transmission it will smell different, then the Oil from your Dipstick. Good Luck and Remember.Change Your Mind, Not Your Oil.
Why does the car smell like burned oil when you turn off the car?
You might have an oil leak that gets on to the exhaust manifold. Check the gasket around the upper part of the engine.
What causes the transmission not go into overdrive when hot?
Assuming it is an automatic transmission, I would check the fluid level. When the transmission is warmed up, the level should read 'full' on the transmission dipstick. Check the color and smell of the oil. Does it smell burnt, or does it appear to be brown instead of red? Perhaps the filter screen is clogged.

Why doesn't your 1992 300sl automatic trans not shift?
If the fluid level is OK and does not smell burned and the shift lever works the transmission may need to looked at by a repair place.
What is oil transmission?
Transmission oil is a motor oil specifically manufactured for transmissions and differentials in cars. Compared to engine oil it is of a higher viscosity which ensures good transfer and better protects the gears. This heavy oil can create viscous drag and lead to inefficiencies in operation. Some modern automatic transmissions do not use such a heavy oil at all but lubricate with the lower viscosity hydraulic fluid, which is available at pressure within the automatic transmission. Transmission oil is usually associated with a strong sulfur smell.
White smoke from exhaust pipe?
If it's actually white then it's water. Probably a blown head gasket. If it's got a slight blueish tint to it then it would be oil. If it's oil it will have a strong burned oil smell to it.
