Car smoking! Transmision fluid!?!
Alright guys, (*@!#$) i just came back from a nuts and bolts store and still no luck. Well, when i pulled of the highway my car started smoking from the bottom!?! It smelled like oil, so i pulled over and it looks like it's my transmision fluid!?! I purchased it from a lexus dealership and they gave me 4 quartz of the red stuff. Well i drained it from the plug at the bottom this saturday and filled it up with all 4 quartz! Looks like the tranny fluid is hitting the bottom of the manifold and then burning!?! did i do something wrong!?! did i over fill? i could never get an accurate read on the stick at first (thinking the oil is still runnning down?) Is there something else i should have done?
Please help guys, thanks!

When you drain your tranny fluid you should only need about 2-2 1/2 quarts to refill..So it's a possibilty that you may have overfilled your tranny and it's overflowing..You may want to drain your tranny fluid again and start with 2 quarts and then fill as needed...

I forgot where you are in Texas if you mentioned it sometime, but I'm in Dallas and I've been taking my car to Jason at JP Importz because whenever I work on my car myself something bad happens. My car's there right now, lol. Another coolant leak.
Anyway call him 214-221-3135 I'm sure he'll have an idea on where you can get that bolt and anything else that you might be concerned with.
