Water in Ecotec Automatic Transmissions

I'm not sure if I had seen photos here, and some customers have come in worried about water in the trans and didn't really know what they should be looking for.
I snapped these of an '03 which had a radiator failure.
This woman's car had radiator fail twice during the warranty period, and had the transmission replaced already. The radiator that was in there was replaced in 2006 or so, and should have had the updated seal kits and everything installed, I believe that this car might have had some overheating problems and burst the water chamber - it was leaking coolant externally quite a bit also.
Just for reference, it took around 40 quarts of fluid to flush everything out until it ran out clear the first time, then I changed one more time.
This was done by draining and re-filling the trans, allowing it to idle in park for 2-3 minutes, then drain and fill again... no power flush machine used.
Enjoy.
Best,
Drew
