Make sure you didn't get water in the transmission as well.  That one is
even harder to clean out...

Subject: Trans fluid in coolant system

Hi to all,

This is a first to me.  The transmission cooler has failed, thus releasing a
lot of oil into the cooling system.  Now I'm not sure how to rinse the whole
system to get rid of the oil.  If detergent to be used, what kind and how
much to a gallon of water.

Also I was real surprised how expensive a new cooler cost, between 530 and
300 dollars.  I would think an external radiator type cooler would be
cheaper and better for the purpose, as is used on other cars.
