Eric,
A: I'd be looking at making Walmart pay for any potential damage and cost of repairs that they caused. Review all the paperwork & policies on your risk and liability for using their lube services. Also, if YOU are actually responsible for them doing stuff then YOU should be the one paying for the cost of repair not them. For example if they advised you to do something and you said not to, then you are unfortunately at fault. You know what I mean?
B: For this smell you describe, find out exactly what are you smelling. If you're not sure, find someone who knows what the different burning smells are and have them assess what this smell might be.
C: Yes, there could be tranny damage caused buy excess heat from not having enough fluid in it but it could simply be other things.
If it is indeed a tranny problem make sure you use a REPUTABLE transmission shop to have it looked at since a modern tranny like that in a Mitsu is probably one system in a vehicle that's exceptionally sensitive to the kind of lube it uses and using the wrong fluid can unfortunately DESTROY it's internals.
HTH.

i recently made the mistake of going to wal mart lube for an oil change. while there, they accidentally drained my transmission fluid. they replaced it with atf +4. but two days later my engine starting getting stuck in gear. after taking it back they told me that my fluid was almost completely empty.
i have recently went to someone who kones what they are doing. i got a flush and he replace with mitsubishi fluid. however my rpms seem to be running high and i smell a burning smell from my engine.
ehat should i do and could there be more serious transmission damage
