Default help with a trans issue.

trans cooler being bad can cause antifreeze to get into trans? Dealership says (inspite of the trans functioning perfectly prior to fluid check/change) trans should be replaced because of antifreeze contamination. BS?

Default <EDIT>Sorry it's not BS, Antifreeze contaminated transmission fluid

will cause seal degradation and just changing transmission fluid will not do it. Any seals that have been exposed to antifreeze, even for a short time, will eventually show damage. Also, the torque converter cannot be completely drained so contamination would still be present when the remaining fluid circulates through the transmission.

<font color="red">By all means take it to a transmission shop and get a 2nd and then a 3rd opinion, there may be a way. Good Luck! </font>
