Coolant transfer into the atf. Failed radiator. Look in your plastic coolant bottle. Any signs of oil there? It will float on top…

Sorry to hear this. It means have much more ATF on hand.

Supertech at Walmart works well.

Draining the pan and tc and replacing the filter is super easy and clean on these cars. But I’d want the water out of there before doing too much. I’d drain the pan and radiator to see what’s going on and go from there.

FSM I believe says to fill the transmission with 4 QTs, start the engine, then add to capacity.
