Transmission cooler in engine radiator rotted out and filled tranny with water and radiator with tranny fluid.

I replaced radiator, flushed out engine, and emptied and refilled transmission pan. The problem is now the transmission wont engage at all. it was working even with the water/oil mix right before i changed it.

What happened? (pulled one tranny cooler line and nothing pumping out) thankis

Did you get the trans filter popped all the way back in the trans? If not it could be sucking air instead of fluid which could cause this.i would go back over whatever parts you repalced first, just to be sure it is all good there.Get back to me with what you find
