Angry GRRRRRRR

Well, I was hoping to have a happier reply to the last post, but today I got home and there was smoke coming from the engine bay. I parked, opened the hood, and it was coming from under the car by the transmission. Now, definately a bad sign, but I'm not real worried yet becuause the tranny is shifting smoothly and doesn't act up unless I'm driving at high speeds. Is it possible that I have too much tranny fluid? The ATF dip stick on my SVX has always been impossible to read because when it looks like the fluid is at full, there isn't even enough of it to shift into gear. I'll take a picture of how it reads later today and post it. Anyway, a friend suggested that the stutter might be from the TPS. Where is that and how can I check to see if it is OK? Thanks.
