[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?

 

Any leaks?

 

none that i have found , nothing on the ground either. will have to climb under and check again but not that i've found

 

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
