I recently checked the auto trans fluid on my daugthers car and it was rather dark (not the normal red I'm used to seeing), but it did not smell burned. Her car has 100k miles on it, and there's no telling when the fluid was last changed.
The local mechanic said if the fluid was too dark, it probably indicates that it contains metal and that he would not flush and change the fluid if this was the case. He made it sound like it would create leaks or other problems.
Does this sound right?
