1994 Honda Accord White Transmission Fluid
My gears have been slipping and my transmission fluid is white and milky. I recently had the radiator and head gasket replaced due to another incident. The mechanic i let fix my car said that he could not clean all of the white milky stuff out in his garage. Could that be the cause of it slipping or do I have a leak somewhere else causing it?
Thanks

So, I am assuming this is an automatic? Your transmission had lines which ran into the oil cooler inside the radiator. The oil cooler inside the old radiator probably had holes or cracks to allow coolant and motor oil (if motor oil got mixed into the radiator coolant first) into the transmission.
You probably have to get 3 drain and fills to try to get most of the old fluid out and hope that takes care of the transmission problem. One drain and fill only gets out about 1/3 of the fluid. Honda has a certain procedure to drain and fill, run the car through gears, etc. and repeat.

I mean, the incident happened back in March that caused all of this to happen. i'm hoping the flushing of the fluids will work. nothing under the car is leaking if that may help. the radiator was brand new when i replaced it.

For the transmission fluid drain and fill, only allow them to do the 3X drain and fill or an alternative method of draining through the transmission lines going to the radiator to try to get most of the old fluid out.
DO NOT let them do a machine power flush, Honda does not recommend it and it may damage your transmission (you may not notice the damage until it is driven a little more).

i took it to a transmission specialist and e said the radiator was fine as well as the transmission. he said i had a lot of water in my transmission from the previous incident, i was told to get the fluids drained and filled twice which i did, and now i see just a little but of whiteilky fluids. what should i do? the car slips a little still
