If you’re having a problem, you’d probably be better off describing it.

I have to second what ↑ he said.
Need some info to work with...but in general a transmission problem is not going to make smoke come out of the exhaust pipe...
If you have smoke coming from under the vehicle is likely oil burning off the hot exhaust, or if out the tail pipe its oil or water/coolant...
A transmission could smoke but its going to have to be super hot to do so...
