Not sure if I've got pink milkshake. HELP

[rcmsdc]

Ok anyone on here familiar with pink milkshake in your 3rd Gen. I recently went off roading and got my front and stuck in some water and noticed my transmission fluid was pink and milky so the first thing I did took it to Valvoline center to get my transmission drained and flushed. they showed me a nice red color after they did the process. I just took my vehicle to get power washed and I went to check my transmission fluid and now its milky again and my radiator coolant is perfectly fine. So I'm not sure if I have the milkshake problem or something else also I have installed A brand new radiator about a year ago or less.

When you took it in, did they completely flush it? Or just drop the pan?

you probably do. your radiator has more pressure in it then the transmission fluid so radiator will push coolant in.

my advice take both hoses off the transmission. connect them together and start the truck, check for fluid being pushed out the radiator, meaning coolant out the trans cooler ports

for now you can connect them two ( radiator trans ports together and transmission lines together) just to get buy before you buy a radiator to fix the problem. Or put in a trans cooler.

They didn't drop the pan they just flushed it. I'm here now and there going to do it again. Maybe twice until get it right.

Why are you still driving it? The longer you drive it, the more likely you are to going to need a rebuilt transmission. Do what was suggested above and order either a new radiator or a cooler. Why risk it when you can throw in a $90 cooler and have complete peace of mind?

Well they flushed it twice and I drove it around. And the fluid is now a clear red. I'm letting it run to check it in a little bit. a good part of the motor was under water so I'm thinking water came through the dip stick. I am going to look into a tranny cooler though because it's recommended with the SC.
