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.
|
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.
|

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