That Dexron VI fluid should not be an issue
When I had a Metric trans I did burnouts starting in 2nd and quickly shifted to 3rd...but that should not really be a cause for a problem.
Sounds like the trans may have lost first gear....or fluid level is low...
Does the ATF fluid look clean and the same color as it was....?
Any slippage in a trans quickly turns the fluid dark and may smell burnt...

Pulled it this morning Rich. Fluid looks as new with no burnt smell at all. Pulled the pan and there is a small amount of metal shavings. I'll take it to Arnett in the morning and let him diagnose/repair. Think I will replace the back u-joint while it's out...took a pretty good beating last week. I'm also carrying the convertor with me in case Thomas thinks a flush is in order.
