How long ago was the transmission replaced? Have you taken it back to the shop that did it so they can take a look? ---

> [@Owens](#): > > said it was not his problem And you believed him? Take it back to the transmission shop that worked on it. Explain to him (nicely) that your next step is to talk to a lawyer and the local TV consumer protection reporter. ---

> [@Owens](#): > > something to do with cooler Something? What thing? Has the transmission cooler failed and pumped engine coolant (anitfreeze) into the transmission? If so, yeah, that’s not his problem, that’s on you and you should get it fixed pronto. Antifreeze doesn’t make good transmission fluid ---

Transmission coolers are normally flushed when a transmission is replaced, if that isn’t possible the radiator must be replaced. The vehicle owner pays for the new radiator.
