BAD NEWS:


Ok, so an auto trans has a system for cooling the fluid. There are pipes that route the fluid to the radiator in the front of the car where their contact with the radiator assembly results in some cooling. When you've got milky fluid, that is the result of a leak in the system whereby YOUR ENGINE COOLANT IS MIXING IN WITH YOUR TRANS FLUID.

Get it fixed PRONTO.

wow!
I noted that when i pulled the check stick out, (it was nighttime) I think I did not put it back properly last time. So may be water got in or something like that. As the matter of fact, around the transmission area, it looks like fluid had been leaking out, fluid are all over the site, and by using flashlight, I saw that my tranny is a big bottle of MILK. lmao...im screwed![:@]

Your definatly gonna want to get the entire system flushed. Auto trans are a hydraulic system, if the viscosity of the fluid is off then it won't work right. It seems like you ahve a big problem on your hands.
