1997 Plymouth Voyager Coolant in Trans

I have a 97 grand voyager. I blew the tranny about 3 years ago. I took it in for a flush & they replaced it with the wrong fluid. After replacing the tranny, the guys at the garage told me it took a special kind of fluid. Regular tranny fluid isn't good for it. Hopefully this helps.

Hey luocifer,
You blew the trans fluid cooler in the radiator, and now coolant has mixed w/ tranny fluid and it gets worse (sorry!) coolant will severely damage the internals of your transmission (ie friction discs etc .....) wish I had some better news for ya. You can try to get the trans flushed after you make the repairs, but its only a matter of time before the tranny completely fails .... I recommend replacing the radiator and a transmission rebuild. A used tranny is another option but I never recommend it ( had too many junkyard tranny nightmares)!
