Found transmission fluid in radioator of my ford sports trac and trans is not shifting?
Replaced radiator and found trans fluid in it well after I have been driving it and now it won't move at all should I have to replace transmission or?
Your tranny is leaking fluid form somewhere. I have no idea how tranny fluid got into the cooling system. You do not have to necessarily replace your transmission. If you can patch the leak, then refill the fluid and you will probably be fine.
If Nikola doesn't know how trans fluid ended up in the radiator, then he shouldn't be offering auto repair advice. The transmission cooler is located INSIDE the radiator. When it deteriorates, the transmission pumps fluid into the coolant. When you shut off the engine and the trans fluid is no longer pressurized, the cooling system pressure forces coolant back into the transmission.
Chances are the transmission is now toast.
The automatic transmission has a fluid cooler built into the driver's side of the radiator, from the factory. The tubing inside the radiator must have rusted thru.
- Have 98 Ford Ranger, 4.0, 171,000 miles, auto trans with limited slip. I've owned truck since new and have changed trans fluid every 30-35 000 miles and have never towed anything. The majority of the 171,000 miles are interstate driving. The truck shifts fine with no jerking or slippage. What I do get is thump(s) in rear end when I come to a stop, as gears are downshifting. Do I need a new transmission? Any suggestions? I suppose it's a "clunk" I hear and feel when I come to a stop, not a thump.

- I searched on cars.com and found Ford Mustangs with FWD, AWD and 2 wheel drive, are those ads fake? Seriously, there's listings on cars.com with Ford Mustangs and even camaros and challengers that was listed as having AWD or fwd or 2 wheel drive. This makes no sense to me because as Far as I know, these cars only come in RWD! So are these ads false or do these cars actually have the option of changing the drivetrain?
- How is the fluid from my radiator on my 1996 Ford Thunderbird mixing with my auto transmission fluid? I've asked and asked and no one seems to have an answer. Please any ideas would be helpful to give me some sort of clue as to where to start to get this fixed. The car still runs fine but its starting to effect the gears changing. Please any ideas would help.
