Take it to the tranny specialist and tell him to fully flush the system.

thanx oo7...i just rang our local tranny specialist and he reckons $200 should pul it up plus new rad.... but said to get as much of contaminated fluid out asap as it will shag the clutch packs... they are booked solid so it looks like i will have to drain it b4 they look at it

You probably have to flush the coolant system fully aswell, because you have tranny fuild in there.
