Similar thing happend to me in 2019. My 84 300D starting flaring abruptly in between all gears. It was very undriveable it would just slip in all gears!. Changed the fluid and filter. Nothing. Read a post on here someone suggested dump a bottle of Trans x (blue bottle) in transmission. It's supposed to clean varnish in a valve body. Anyways I did that. Drove around for like 15 minutes around the block miraculously every gear was shifting like BuTTter!!! It brought so much life in a transmission I was going to throw away. However their were consequences my cooler line started leaking leaking a strawberry mixture of a color. It ended up being coolant and tyranny mixing. It was totally worth it though

Ely, what caused the tranny fluid and coolant to mix?
I assumed the hoses leaked because of age? |

I'm a firm believer in using Trans X and have been for about 30 years.
So far, have been able to not have to rebuild/repair at least three transmissions and two power steering pumps. A Chevy suburban power steering pump was leaking a huge amount of fluid. I decided to try Trans-X and it quit leaking completely and stayed that way for al least two more years when it was sold. I add about 1/2 bottle along with new transmission fluid when I change the transmission fluid and filter. To me, trying Trans X does no harm if there is a problem that might require repair/rebuild. If it doesn't fix the problem at least the innards are flushed a little bit cleaner. |

Coolant In The ATF
The only way this can occur is by the ATF cooler in the bottom of the radiator to spring a leak .

I'm not sure. I cut the split end open and clamped it with a 3/8 hose. Hasn't leaked since 2018
