Not sure exactly what started it, but it started puking tranny fluid right about the time I noticed smoke. My oppinion is a transmission line started leaking at a splice, and sprayed fluid on the header, got hot and ignited. Just speculation. It didnt look totaled to me either, but you never know about the wiring headaches that may appear when you start trying to fix it all. The insurance company gave me a good deal on it, so they can have it.
