<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV> <P>If I'm allowed a wild guess, I'd say that your transmission's oil cooler failed, allowing coolant to mix with ATF. You'd have to pull the auto tranny, send the torque converter out to be cleaned, so all the ATF is removed. Everything has to be very clean inside the transmission for it to work properly. I had problems with mine, and had to have the torque converter rebuilt. It was reassembled and filled with Motul ATF (synthetic) and it is shifting better than when I bought the van. Whatever you do, don't drive with contaminated ATF, the valvebody may suffer, and it is expensive. <BR></P> <P> H�ctor<BR></P></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>I checked my fluid <DIV></DIV>before my engine went kaput and the color was fine . after my heads leaked <DIV></DIV>i checked it again and my trans fluid looked brown and milky. It seemes <DIV></DIV>weird to me that this has happened at the same time. Will coolant in the <DIV></DIV>trans make it hesitate and have to rev the engine at high RPM's to move or <DIV></DIV>cause the hesitation to engage. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Surf the Web without missing calls!
