| Description of the problem | Well i was driving along and the vehicle started chugging and then it stopped moving, when i had a transmission shop look at it they told me the radiator cracked and leaked fluid into the trans and destroyed the trans, now it is going to be replaced or rebuilt. I cannot afford this but need to get it fixed since i borrowed money to buy it. I was told by the trans shop that this was a common problem and it is not supposed to happen since the trans fluid lines and radiator fluid do not come into direct contact with each other, but is a defective radiator and design that caused this problem. |
