The heat exchanger failed. So engine coolant got into the transmission. Normally, a little bit is fine but when it is this bad there is no way it can be rebuilt without costing us more then a rebuild itself. There is also a lot of damage inside that is not shown in the pic. If it is going to cost more money then we sell the unit for it is worthless to us, so no core value.

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! A better look. Intake plenium was swapped elsewhere yesterday. Customer picked up late in the day. Vehicle repeatedly stalled and then would not turn over. We found 7L of coolant in the oil and the crank is locked up tight. Installer admits to dropping a bolt but couldn’t find it.
Well, we found it.
