yea the guy that built it is pretty cool though, because i mean really there is no way to tell beforehand that the trans cooler is leaking, so we decided to get an external cooler, flush the system, throw in a couple filters until everything runs clear, and see what happens from there. as long as i remove it, and reinstall hes gonna build it again for me which is awesome

I'm in agreement, something is probably clogging the filter. No fluid, no movement.
As for the mud, is it dark brown type mud? That's clutch material. Water in the trans fluid (oil) would appear milky reddish. FWIW typically you will get trans fluid into the coolant and not coolant into the trans fluid. This is because the trans fluid is pressurized higher than the radiator.
Likely a seal is not quite right and that caused some slippage and the clutches to wear quick, build up in the pan and starve the trans.

yeah the mud iteself is real dark brown, but the fluid looks like chocolate milk, no reddish tint at all in it.

Not good either way huh?

not at all lol. im gonna try and external cooler, new filter, and flush it out, and see what happens, if it slips or has any issues the guys gonna rebuild it again. so its a pin, but at least hes holding up his end
