2016 Yukon, 8L90, 6.2: I flushed the fluid 2200 miles ago, I drive 3.5 miles to work and 3.5 back twice a day ( bad I know ), engine does get up to temperature and the trans gets up to 125 degrees.
I took a long trip, 4 hour drive one way and some serious mountain drive ( million dollar road ). I was witching the trans temp the hole time and never seen more them 210 degrees.
When I got home, I looked at the fluid and it was orange and smelled burnt. Shifting seems normal but, when trans temps are below 75 degrees it has what feels like a flat spot under heavy acceleration. Starts to move then a slam like bushings are bad but goes away when trans temps are above 75.
What could cause the fluid to burn? Could my trans temp gauge be wrong? Hot spots?
I am thinking Torque Converter.
