Could be a bad radiator allowing engine coolant to circulate in transmission
Change fluid and filter
Run engine to normal operating temperature - pull transmission dipstick and allow a drop of fluid to drop on a hot engine part - oil will smoke and coolant will sizzle
If coolant present - replace radiator also
Hopefully not too late

Why is the transmission fluid milky in your 1996 ford explorer?
Milky means that there is water in the fluid. You need to have the radiator checked for an internal leak.

My 1990 Nissan maxima will not shift out of first and will not go into reverse plus the fluid looks like milk?
The transmission fluid cooled by routing it through the radiator. The fluid probably is a milky color because the radiator had failed internally allowing the coolant and transmission fluid to mix. Check the coolant and if looks milky change the radiator, coolant, and transmission fluid.

Milky transmission fluid?
Milky means one thing, water in the oil! Generally this means coolant from the engine is getting into the trans usually through the oil cooler in the radiator. This is very very bad and will quickly ruin the transmission.
Signs you need to change transmission fluid?
Dark colored fluid or if the fluid has a burned odor, but If you have mechanical problems it is probably to late for a fluid change to make any difference.
2000 Pontiac grand prix and the transmission oil is milky in color and the oil level continues to increased and the transmission slips?
The reason the fluid is a milky color is that water is getting into the transmission. How you ask??? Well the cooling lines go into the radiator to cool the fluid. It is at that spot it is picking up water as the cooler inside the radiator has a leak. the best solution would be to change the radiator. You could block the fitting ports for the lines at the radiator and put an external cooler on it. YOU MUST thoroughly flush the transmission and change the fluid and filter.
