Hi, I think my transmission is going out of my camaro. There other day I
gave it alot of gas and suddenly smelled something burning. I saw smoke
in my rear view mirror. It appeared to be coming from around my rear end
or tires.  I put super torque fluid in it so perhaps it was too super
for my torqing abilities?   I used a torque wrench to bring it down a
bit but it still smells like something is burning when I mash on it.  I
shifted the transmission in to (R),which I assume is "Race", to see if
it still acted up but I believe the dealer installed my "Race" gear
backwards because I slammed into a building behind me :(   If anyone has
any information I would be thankful. Thanks

It figures you are posting from webtv.  That and your post says a lot
about you.  Piss poor attempt at humor mate.  Don't sign up for any
comedian contests.

You use 'D' (drag) to get moving quick, then 'R' (race) for top end.
If it goes backwards, you might have had your torque wrench set on
negative torque instead of positive torque.  Don't even try to use 'P'
(pass) until you get it fixed right.  Duh.
