It's possible for coolant to get into the transmission fluid. There's a transmission fluid cooler in the radiator. If it's rotted out coolant will wind up in the transmission fluid. Best to change the transmission fluid and filter, at least twice to get the coolant out of there. Hope that helps! Jim
