Re: [DML] Transmission Problem - any ideas

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The clutch is shot and the leak *could* be the nut on the 5th gear came loose and went through the cover. All of this speculation is great but the transmission and clutch is coming out under all circumstances if for no other reason than to just replace the clutch.

The burning oil smell could be caused by a leak in the rear main seal with oil getting on the clutch and pressure plate and which is burning off and causing clutch slippage when the clutch is engaged.  Check your engine oil level and make sure that the puddle of fluid below the car is not engine oil.

Also, a large pool of transmission fluid had dumped out of the gearbox onto the floor (by large I mean the whole area under the rear of the car was a swimming pool).
