hello names chris, i have a 76 280z I recently did a trany swap from auto to manual about a month ago. Now my problem is my car is smoking its white grayish smoke.The car has been sitting for about 6 months slowly working on it I finally got the trany in I started my car and the rpms were high at the cold start i tried to lower it but nothing worked . but after it warms up the idle goes down to 9rpm. I have check my plugs no oil on them, my coolant has no signs of oil either. but i did notice oil under my throttle body? can that be whats causing my car to smoke? I have also read that when a automatic trany gives out some fluid can be suck into the manifold so maybe that would also be whats causing the white smoke?

thanks for the help

Check the vacuum modulator on the auto trans, may be sucking trans fluid. Easy to replsce. NK
