Tms are at the top of the forum. You would follow the winch troubleshooting. The pto is electrically actuated. Check with a meter see if there is voltage at the pto.

Heat Exchanger$

I took my M1081 in for a transmission fluid change and when i got to the shop the truck was leaking what looked like oil. After they flushed and changed the fluid they said that the heat exchanger was bad and this was causing the leak, and that the trans oil had gotten anit-freeze in it, to which they re-flushed and filled the tranny again. I feel like I got ripped off... Does any one know if it is normal practice to fush with synthetics? wouldn't you use a less expensive product to flush before filling it with liquid gold..? also does anyone know where to find these heat exchangers for sale? They charged me an arm and a leg for a rebuild one.. I would probably have just let the whole thing go but the truck is still leaking oil the same as it was before. Thanks

The trans cooler under the front of the truck? If you had coolant mixed in your oil you would usually know it. The trans oil would start looking like choco milk. And chances are you would have some oil in your cooling system. This is bad for your trans but I dont see how it would cause a leak although I am no expert in this. How did the trans fluid look?

I had the same concern, but they said there was a vent or blow off that the tranny fluid was coming out of.

Coolant or water in the trans fluid is very bad. The adhesive that joins the friction material to the steel backing is water based...

I believe the transmission does have an over pressure vent. I have read about overly thick trans fluid in very cold environments coming out the trans vent until the trans warms up a bit. But leaking out a vent and mixing of water and trans fluid are two very different things.
