Subject:Coolant in my automatic tranmission fluid...
From:Mark Dorm

Okay, so I have coolant in my automatic transmission, and ATF in my coolant.
In my coolant I can deal with, the transmission is another thing.

I guess this means the seal in the inner cooler went bad.

Can I fix this with the transmission still in? Or do I have to remove it?

Can I temporarily clamp the hoses to and from the inner cooler, and change
the ATF a few times (holds six but only 3 quarts drains each time...) until
I can afford to get it fixed properly....

What are the odds my transmission is trashed?

The mixing of fluids just happened. I caught it right before and after...
within blocks.... (city blocks...)...
