    upper arm suppliers

    its for the mot though. im asuming that if its leaking grease then it will be classed as a failiure point. unless its possible to buy new rubber boots. I know if the lower is leaking (it also has grease all round it) then that would be a failure aswell.

    burning smell, possibly auto box fluid

    ok i had a look underneath and the area where the torque converter is was covered in quite wet fluid. guess its fresh stuff. im hoping it could be spillage from when i did a fluid change a few months ago. anyways i wiped it all off so ill see if it still stinks later on.

    burning smell, possibly auto box fluid

    I own a na auto supra. its developed a rather worying burning smell even after short distances of say 1 or 2 miles. im pretty sure its atf fluid. does anyone know off hand if the exhaust would catch drips of leaking atf? does it run close enough to the auto box? or should i be looking elsewhere...
