Oh, your first car.. Shhoot~! No worries. The folks here know quite a bit.. When they notice your post they will most likely reply with some info. It may take a while to help you get it narrowed down but with enough time and research you will be back in your Supra with all the power at your feet!

To help you out. I would put a little detail in your title so when the others see your post they actually want to click on the link to help. It's becoming less and less that these types of post actually get help.. So, click on edit and advanced.. Then change your title.. Then you will get help..

Well on my 88 n/a I had to replace the rings (Seals) that go from the manidfold down to the pipe below. They where a disaster. I got them back and they where like onions! Smoke was coming threw there. BTW my car.. It was a BHG.. You may want to start thinking that one. I mean.. If so.. There is a small fix that works for a VERY SHORT TIME! You CANNOT drive your car hard at all either with this method... I found this out the hard way and had to do it a second time..

i had my grandfather and my dad look at her and both said the HG was fine. i haf a BHG run though my head many of times. i was thinking about getting a new exhaust pipe from autozone for 105. but my dad said the leak from the exhaust was the problem. so he keeps going back to its the trans that the problem. also duly noted on not driving her hard the only time i do is usually on the highway i go 80.

I didn't think the transmission could cause smoke to come out your tail pipe.. But honestly, I'm always learning. I never ran into that or seen that type of problem (noob me i guess). Regardless.. If you think its a pipe don't you think you could just seal it with some sealer. I have done that one before. Sealer for exhaust pipes.. Err, though if it's to high up on the pipe the pressure will be to great and poof.. Back to square 1.
