Engine Coolant In Transmission

Notice: The antifreeze will deteriorate the Won chamfer seals and the glue that bonds the clutch material to the pressure plate. Both conditions may cause damage to the transmission.

If the transmission oil cooler has developed a leak allowing engine coolant to enter the transmission, perform the following:
1. Disassemble the transmission.
2. Replace all of the rubber type seals. (The coolant will attack the seal material which will cause leakage.)
3. Replace the composition-faced clutch plate assemblies. (The facing material may separate from the steel center portion.)
4. Replace all of the nylon parts (washers).
5. Replace the torque converter.
6. Thoroughly clean and rebuild the transmission, using new gaskets and oil filter.
7. Flush the cooler lines after the transmission cooler has been properly repaired or replaced.
