Ditto, I have read that water causes the friction material on the clutch plates to fall apart. That material seems to be something like paper (cellulose?). Perhaps anti-freeze (glycols) is bad too. But, I have no personal experience. I have read that if you see water in the transmission fluid (foamy white?), you must address it quick. Indeed, in my 60's cars, I installed an external tranny oil cooler, bypassing the radiator cooler, to eliminate that concern.
