Consumer Description

ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT RESERVOIR (WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE RADIATOR) COLLAPSED CAUSING WATER, ANTIFREEZE AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX. THESE FLUIDS THEN MADE THEIR WAY INTO THE RADIATOR, TRANSMISSION AND COOLANT RESERVOIR. THIS, IN TURN, CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY TRANSMISSION. MY TRANSMISSION THEN REQUIRED REPLACEMENT/REBUILD. THE FIRST POSSIBLE SIGN OF THE PROBLEM WAS ROUGH AUTOMATIC SHIFTING OF THE VEHICLE. I THEN NOTICED A LEAK OF TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE (WHICH WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY). THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF POWER/DRIVABILITY.
