Transmission Fluid


I have a 2001 automatic GT and the transmission fluid is light brown and smells burnt. I'm wondering does that mean I need to rebuild the tranny or just change the fluid?

I think the cheapest and easiest thing to do would be to change the fluid first

Change the fluid/filter and install an aftermarket trans cooler. Yes, use Mercon V.
