Trans Fluid Smell? ? ?
 
[B]i had changed my trans fluid and filter a couple weeks ago about 17qts, i did the pump out a gal & fill and repeat method.
Anyway now when the truck is up to temp. you can smell the trans fluid (Royal Purple), when idling. i was waiting to see if it would go away but its still there. its pretty strong sometimes!!!
Whats up with that?

Wonder if this could it be similar to the "Rosmella" phenomenon?

I just changed my trans filter and trans fluid with Royal Purple. i am having the same smell, its been freaking me out do to the fact that this was the first time i did this type of service. can you explain "17qts, i did the pump out a gal & fill and repeat method"

first pumped out a gal and 1/2 then dropped pan, did the work and filled and drained, repeated to about 16qts or 17 couldnt remember exactly. i think it holds 17 altogether. i'm sure i pumped out some new also which i dont think about being $12 qt[yuk]
