The smoke is probably off of one of the wires going to the starter, and it heated up and melted the coating off the wire. Try checking the grounds for the starter, and check and see if any wires have rubbed the coating off of each other and shorted out.

Check the ground wire between the tranny bell housing and the firewall. It should terminate onto a connector on the firewall near the windshield wiper motor, and somewhere on top of the tranny or engine, near the bell housing.
