I noticed about two weeks ago that my truck races when I accelerate. In addtion, from time to time I will smell something burnt. Do I need to replace my transmission fluid?

Hi elf37,

Replacing is secondary, you must check the ATF level first and there could be some leakages causing the fluid to be splashed onto the exhaust, thus the burnt smell.
