    Once again another problem with my car. I just got off the freeway and my car started acting funny. Like I'd hit the gas and it start revving like it was in neutral. It wouldn't speed up. So I pulled over turned it off and now I see white smoke. Coming from the back of the car not the from the engine. It doesn't really smell like rubber or oil. Idk what burnt oil smells like. Help me please. I just got a transmission put in. Honestly it wasn't driving like it used to. But it's this

    might have blown a head gasket with it over heating on ya, and you got a tranny problem again.

    white is smoke that dissipates kinda fast out the tail pipes? might smell sweet? if so, head gasket.

    pull the oil dip stick out, see if its over filled or milky looking pm the stick.

    that shops a real gem. check the tranny fluid level to be sure its low? if its low thats why it stopped moving.

    Wym? Was that a joke lol? And I'm sure I don't have anymore fluid. Cause it had to all leak out onto the ground. I'll check in the morning when I have light cause I just got a row. Do you think the transmission line busted again? Like it was a new one

    no, not a joke, they suck, after they fix the car again due to their lack of mechanical ability's never go back.

    Yeah never go back...

    And while you're there, raise some more hell.

    Then when you leave, tell anyone who is looking for a shop to avoid it like the plague.

    It is also pretty rare for this engine to have a blown head gasket. If I had to put money on it I would say it is a transmission issue.
