No, not the trans.

I'm with BetterMakeWay, when the engine and exhaust gets real hot the smells come out.

I kind of love it, it's the smell of racing.

Yeah its gotta be the engine heat like people said or your brakes... if you rip your car and have to use the brakes that can do it too.

Check under your car. I had a plastic bag stick on my exhaust long time ago, and it got melted.
