[JETURBO]

well what? not a good answer?

stop driving it asap if its not damaged(the trans)get it a trans flush yes flush not service might beable to save your trans and ull need a new radiator and then an aftermarket trans cooler asap after

or u could still rip a skid and see what happens?

What he's trying to say is you potentially have a busted heat exchanger in the radiator. If that is the case you'll most likely have coolant in your transmission oil as well.

So don't drive it (not even to rip a big skid) and get it looked at asap.

PS: Jet, given this is posted under NA...might be a bit hard to give it 10 pounds

is this a common problem? which gearboxes does this mostly affect?

[tab]

Wouldn't say common, but has happened to quite a few of the earlier BAs. From memory they changed the radiators at some point which would hopefully have stopped it.

Here's an old thread but I'm sure there's a few more around.
