This question is concerning my 96 with the T5.on several different occasions,it's rained here so hard,the road couldn't drain the runoff water fast enough.Well,as you pretty much guessed,water is getting in my transmission.I've had to drain it and refill the thing several times in the past 4 years.I get that strawberry milkshake fluid and sticking or grinding gears.So how in the hell is water getting in? Could it be the fluid vent? if so,where is the vent and how can I stop this from happening? No,iM not running through swamps or going boating with my stang .The rains are just heavy here at times.
