Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission

Warning
|
|
The antifreeze or water will deteriorate the seals, gaskets and the glue that bonds the clutch material to the pressure plate. Both conditions may cause damage to the transmission.

|
|
If antifreeze or water has entered 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.
|

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.

Replace the torque converter.
|
|

Thoroughly clean and rebuild the transmission, using new gaskets and oil filter.

Flush the cooler lines after the transmission cooler has been properly repaired or replaced.
