So this is the story. I keep loosing coolant with no leak and I just kept filling it up. When I went to fill it up on Sunday I noticed brown what I think was transmission fluid in the resovoir container. It had that smell of transmission fluid. So I ordered a new radiator and coolant and transmission fluid thinking there would be a ton of coolant in the transmission and that is where my coolant has been going. Today I drained the transmission from the plug and I got a little over a gallon of fluid out and no evidence of antifreeze or water mixed with the oil. I am confused. First I am only supposed to get 3.5 qts out of that plug right? I did have the car on a hill is that why so much came out or is there antifreeze mixed with the trans fluid and I can't see it? I didn't think trans fluid and water would mix. So, where did all my coolant leak to and why did I get so much trans fluid out? Any help would be great guys I know that was a long post I am just beside myself.

 

You usually can't see coolant in the trans fluid. You need a test kit to check for glycol in the trans fluid.

 

Really? well that is good to know and it would explain why I got so much trans fluid out of the transmission. So, you think that is where the coolant was going and I am on the right track? I had a hard shift into second gear just before I noticed this as well as was thinking they were related.
