My car leaked on me

[speedhop]

I changed the tranny and diff fluid tonight, which made a big difference in the way the car drove. Much smoother now!

Moral of the story, the fluid was so thick that when I was pumping the fluid into the tranny one of the hoses on the pump shot off and blew it's tran load all over me (my hair, face, shirt).

I love smelling like a live in the tranny casing...kinda.
I showered and washed my golden locks like 3 times with tons of soap but I still smell like the rank crap.

How do I get this smell off!!!

[MR 325]

Gear oil... Come off? Nope!

[speedhop]

cut your hair sunshine

I'll advise you to use the best degreaser ever... DAWN (the dish washing thing)

And if the smell isn't gone, then use lemon juice, and dawn again.

Give it a bit of time to act, don't rinse immediately.

BTW it'll turn your hair into something like a dry towel that has been for days in the sun, so after doing it shampoo your hair and use conditioner (lots), or else you will never be able to comb again.

DAMN !! I would have liked seeing that

lol that's happened to me before....it sucks! It took a few days for the smell to go away.

THROW AWAY YOUR CLOTHES! If you wash them, all of your other clothes will stink too! And it will not matter if you wash them seperatly. I spilled a qt. in the trunk of my old 88iX and it almost made me puke everytime I got inside for the next 2 years!

[mattdk318i]

yea, Dawn is the only thing that will take it out of your hair. I was under my tranny trying to get leverage on the plug and i got it all over me. Dawn worked great.
But like everyone else said, Throw away your cloths. They will never come clean

i had 4 entire bottles rupture in the trunk of my first E30. it was so thick it sat on top of the mat, and it reaked for months on end.

i eventually took everything out and steam washed the mat, and dawned the entire trunk interior to dull the smell.

[DuMa]
