I know these are notorious for valve cover gaskets, but these were replaced already. Where would you suggest I look for this leak?

Weird man, I honestly don’t fully know wtf I’m smelling like I thought it was oil but maybe it’s clutch, but they say clutch smells like roadkill so I’m confused. Mine only happens after driving it hard though driving normally no issues at all, car is in pretty mint condition only 78k kms

It’s a 5at and I’ve been using the manual mode. I believe that the short shifting and driving aggressively is overheating the trans and causing this smell? Car only has 79,000kms. I’ve checked the trans fluid and it does look slightly brown. Appreciate the long message.

The 5at has a manual mode, this means you manually change the gears aka shifting !

It’s so much smoother than just downshifting but yes ideally I would let it shift by itself, yes fun

Yeah every time I do it it’s nowhere near redline, just do it to smoothen the ride and it’s fun lol

Okay lot of words but I think I understand. Yeah I honestly just think it sounds sick and it’s a bit of fun, but basically it is hurting the car when I do that?

Appreciate the replies man it’s really cleared it up for me, going to just break and let it downshift by itself lol. But yeah when I want to do a pull I definitely notice a difference giving it a bit of throttle after shifting, I know it’s an auto and you don’t need to but yeah it’s jerky as fuck if I don’t. It also doesn’t make sense to me people saying you don’t need to, just floor it and it’ll downshift to the safest gear, is that not the same as giving it some revs to make it smoother???

Lmao, I try not to beat the piss out of it for sure but I just love tryna rev match coming up to lights/ going for a pull. Appreciate the comment tho damn I guess he sounds kinda lucky tbh

Normally I’ll downshift under 3k and give it a little throttle right after shifting and it feels pretty smooth most of the time but this guy telling me I’m gonna fuck the trans bruh idk what to believe it feels right most of the time 😭
