Hello,

It could be, what color was the smoke....

Also check your radiator for tranny fluid....

Does the oil appear milky?

In all my years of Mechanicing I have never come across a bad TVM that dumped that much fluid into the oil pan.

YOUR RIGHT I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, EASY CHECK REMOVE THE VACUM LINE THAT LEADS TO THE MODULATER AT THE T ON THE RIGHT REAR OF INTAKE MANIFOLD AND SEE IF TRANSS FLUID IS PRESENT.
