Hi there, so I have a 98 GMC Yukon, 4 wheel drive. It has ~262,500 miles, and I take extremely good care of it. It’s always had a slight shake to it on the highway and I replaced the entire front end trying to find the problem, and I think it came down to the hub assembly and CV’s. But after I fixed that I had an intake gasket failure, bad day, and I got that replaced. Just before getting that fixed, my brake lights stopped working. And right after I got the intake gasket fixed it started developing a shutter at about 50 or 55 mph and if I push it it will just get worse. I don’t know if the brake lights have anything to do with my transmission issues or if it’s completely separate but I figured I would give all the information I can. When I tap the brakes the lights will come on but if I push them any farther they’ll shut off. I tried pushing it on the highway passed 70 and it started spewing transmission fluid all over the exhaust and was burning, it looked like a chimney on the back of my car of white smoke. I changed the transmission fluid and filter thinking it could be a clogged filter and coming out of the vent tube but no luck. There’s transmission fluid all over the frame rails, and it drips when I park. I can’t tell where its coming from because it’s blown all over the transmission. Also the transfer case has had a leak at the output seal for a long time and I think it’s leaking out of that as well.
