So last night as I was driving home I was about a three block distance from my home when I started hear this awful scraping noise. Anyways turns out the my transmission coolant radiator fell out of its housing as I was driving, therefor the tubing broke open spilling ALL my transmission fluid.

So I did the obvious, replaced the radiator, hoses, and fluid. After doing so I let her idle for a few minutes but -here's the catch- directly after I turned the engine off these violent jerking and hurling noises started happening. Scared the crap out of me (in a sense that my baby isn't doing well). That only lasted for about three full seconds.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue will be so very much appreciated. Also it's and 84 k5 with a 305 and 700r4.

Thanks.

Now it's leaking transmission fluid. Sign for a new gasket, filter?

 

I'm confused is this an aftermarket cooler? Because the stock cooler is part of the radiator. Where is the leak?

 

It's leaking from the coolant pan where the filter and gasket are. And it's not an aftermarket one.

 

Great.... It's the torque converter gasket....
