when i was tinkering under my hood today i found my trans fluid was pink and foamy , my dad says it has water in it . i think i know how it happend ,but i need to know how to get rid of it , will a trans flush get it all out? i hate using professional shops but you gotta what you gotta do.

a flush should, but after a flush you should still go in and change the filter.

If you don't like the shops, buy a couple filter kits and the cheapest oil you can find and change it, run a it a bit, then change it again till it comes out clean.

first of all fix the reason water got there in the first place . more than likely the radiator cooler . then flush , flush , flush . no need to rattle on about filter . work all gears while flushing . L.O.L.

the problem was who ever replace my trans did not put a gasket in for the filler tube (before i got it) then someone test drove it in the rain . i replaced it the day i got it but the damage was done

The possible places are top vent (would need the car submerged in water), the pan gasket (most likely leak fluid out B4 water in), the TV cable o-ring (also would need water up high....like to the ground effects), the dipstick gasket (same as TV in height to the ground), coulve run in at the cowl over time in rains if the dipstick wasnt put all the way in and/or seal on the dipstick was bad or like Tom said and it be in the cooler lines in the radiator. New radiator would be needed then.

I doubt enough water could get in there through the dipstick tube unless you were driving under water, Your more likley to find your radiator is leaking into your trans through the cooler in it , I have seen it many times , Have it presure tested or at least by pass it and run a large cooler, Unforunatley though water causes the material on the frictions to separate so if its been there long at all you are headed for big problems reguardless, Sorry

- plus, if the dipstick seal was totally left out, then the trans was probably ran while low on fluid. Converter drain back while the car is not running would have leaked a considerable amount onto the ground.

the guy before me bought it for a project , so it only seen the road 4 or 5 times after the trans swap (including test drives) he refiled the fluid before he drove it anywhere . it did leak a lot of fluid when it sat . i drive the car at least once a day (kid with no job) and it drives fine, shifts perfect but not for long with the water in it . i just need to milk it untill i can find a car with a blown motor and good body to put mine into , my car is a total rust bucket
