Been having trouble with the clutch so I had to drop the tranny and check the flywheel I think they took to much off. Anyway I dropped the trans and I noticed the fluid was like a chocolate milk color. Does anyone know why it would turn that color? I had just put brandnew pennzoil gear oil I havent really driven it to much because I had rouble putting it in gear. I already got some of that gm secromesh that I am gonna be putting in; one mechanic told me the reason it got that color is because it got overheated, but why would it overheat? I origanally thought it was from the radiator but the trans doesnt have any coolant lines going to the radiator so what could it be?
