Default Really BAD day today

been having trouble with the auto latley.. took it to the autoshop today

Needs a complete rebuild... Apparently water from the radiator has some how got into the box causing it to screw up....
Has any body else had this experience

If you have a look at the radiator - it has an oil cooler for the auto in the bottom tank - this is often the issue when water gets into the gearbox - IMHO I would run a sepperate auto cooler and bypass the radiator.
