Transmission drain and fill
Hi all,
So I purchased my 90 Camaro RS tbi with 700r4 about a year ago. I have been driving since and had heating issues and I addressed that. I was checking my transmission fluid and noticed it was pretty pink and clear in color however has a burnt smell. The guy said he had rebuilt the transmission. My question is should I attempt a drain and fill or just drive it as is?

Normally darker fluid is indicator of old fluid and overheat concerns, nothing hurts to change the fluid out.
