I recommend you get an external cooler, if you can rescue you automatic
transmission (by best doing 2 oil changes and driving the first for a
couple of days!
I had this problem before, and then I replaced the cooler with a used one
which also lasted only a few month now my transmission is bad - I have no
idea if it can be rebuild or if I should better replace it!
Anyhow this cooler is kind of a design flaw! Remove that failure
opportunity, its better to loose the transmission oil than to get water
into the transmission!
