Drain either the oil or the Transmission Fluid with the drain plug located underneath the front end of the car, and refill with the proper fluid. You may want to pour a quart or so of clean oil or trans fluid through when draining to flush the bad stuff out. Dont drive the car until you fix this problem, as it will cause severe engine damage in time.
Transmission fluid mixed with washing powder
The metal transmission screw-in dipstick was removed and lost. This left the transmission fluid filler hole open. Normally water does not enter this location from above if the hood is closed. But since the engine was being washed, the washing fluid entered the transmission and mixed with the transmission fluid. The contamination caused the transmission to begin to cease normal expected hydraulic pressure. Transmission stopped working. Solution: Drain with a pump and refill the transmission fluid and replace the metal dipstick.
Yes, you can use either DOT 3 or DOT 4 and they can be mixed. You cannot use DOT 5.
The trans fluid will take on a pink, milky look.
Mercron transmission fluid is used in a 1978 Ford Thunderbird. Type F fluid can also be used but should not be mixed.
Not a good situation. Don't drive it! The transmission cooler that is built in to the radiator is bad. The radiator needs to be replaced and the cooling system and transmission needs to be flushed completely. If any coolant is mixed with the transmission fluid it will destroy the transmission in a very short time. I repeat, don't drive it, have it towed to your local garage for repair.
1 gallon of antifreeze mixed 50/50 with 1 gallon of distilled water will be enough to fill the system.
I gallon of Long Life Coolant mixed with 1 gallon of distilled water will be enough to fill it up after draining.
The kind of oil that you should use for the Honda CR 250 is Honda HP2 mixed at 32:1. You do not want to use regular motor oil in your bike.
When you changed the Radiator did you flush the engine to remove the transmission fluid that the already mixed with your water in the engine block. If not that would explain the presence of the fluid in the coolant holding tank.
Check coolant in radiator could be getting mixed with transmission fluid due to a bad radiator cooling chamber Check the modulator could be getting burned as fuel Check for leak
One gallon of antifreeze and 1 gallon of distilled water mixed together 50/50 will be enough to fill the system.
