| Description of the problem | The transmission has been rebuilt twice. Both times the mechanic found water in the transmission. The vehicle's radiator has been changed and the torque converter was changed, as possible culprits, but that did not alleviate the issue at hand, as the water returned to the transmission. The car is now at the mechanic for the third time within the year, with water in the transmission. The mechanic is stumped as to what the cause of the water may be. |
