This model Ford tended to have a problem with the transmission cooler. The transmission oil leaks into the radiator water. Replace radiator, drain and flush cooling system, and also get the automatic drain, flushed, and adjusted and pray like hell that there is no damage to the auto. The Water damages the friction plates.
