Hey guys, I have a 1995 Honda Accord, My radiator busted I had changed it. I then put in a used radiator and my tranny fluid came out to be a milky substance(light brown in color.) I then flushed it all out bought a new after market radiator installed it. Then I went to drive it and the transmission will not shift properly. So I drove it up and down the street seeing if I could burn it off, well last night the tranny will not grab any gear. It will not even go in reverse. Can someone help me diagnose this problem? I am thinking it is the filter. I know it's not my head gasket because I checked my oil and where the gasket is and everything seems fine. Thanks in advanced.

 

did you hook the trans lines back to the cooler? did you change the fluid in the trans seeing that it was dirty?

 

Yeah, I flushed both the coolant system and the transmission. Both were their original colors. But when I started the car it shot the dirty substance back through. I am assuming it's deep in the system somewhere. Thanks for the help dude. I will go back out and check it I may have video and/or photos up some.

 

describe what you mean by shot dirty substance back through. through where?

 

The thing is I do not know where it is coming from. All I can say is it looks like a brown milky substance. I have no idea where it keeps coming from because I know I flushed everything out multiple times. And yet whenever I pull out my dipstick to my tranny the substance is still there. I will have photos of it up in about ten minutes. Sorry man I don't know all of the technical terms. So it's kind of hard for me to really point it out but like I said I will have pics posted in about 20 mins. Thanks for the help.

Now my car won't turn over. I think it maybe the battery I will check it soon. But I have oil where my spark plugs are. Is this a problem?

 

you're replacement radiator probably has a deffective cooler for your trans.fluid. Is your coolant also milky? If it is, get another radiator and you would probably have to flush your tranny fluid a few times to get rid of that coolant/tranny.fluid mixture.

 

I just bought a brand new off the shelf radiator. I can't figure out why I keep seeing this stuff everywhere. I am just at an complete lost.
