Sudden, massive transmission fluid leak came into contact with hot exhaust manifold. While trying to get it off of the road after a stop, clutch failed. Managed to drive to a safer location about 1/4 mile away. So much smoke was pouring out from under the hood that I was afraid to open it. Retreated to a safe distance and called a tow truck.
