Default Worried about my tranny

So yesterday I got the tranny fluid replaced and now I can smell burning after I drive around for awhile. I have an 06 MC with about 120k on it and the tranny fluid in there was pretty bad. I can also feel the car jerk when I make turns. Any idea what the problem is and what I need to do?

Thanks,
Lavera

Check your other fluids, power steering, as well as oil.

I would check the trans fluid too just to make sure it full. It may need to be topped off. Also they may have spilled a little fluid when refilling it and it may be burning off.

why not just bring it back to the shop that did the work and ask them to take a look at it.

I got it figured out, not enough tranny fluid was in there. It's running fine now.
