I just had my 60K maintanance with an oil change and my transmission fluid changed and their was a wierd burnt smell after I got done driving my car. Why is this? Could the mechanic have used the wrong transmission fluid? Or, is it normal for new transmission fluid to smell?
They also changed the coolant, in case that smells.
MIGHT HAVE SPILLED SOME ON THE EXHAUST! CK FOR ANY LEAKS AFTER DRIVING AWHILE.********* TAKE IT BACK AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT!!!

When they changed the fluid they probably spilled fluid on the engine and exhayst manifolds. Check for leaks, if none wash engine off when cold with hot water mixed with a little dish detergent. and hose off.
