WATER IN TRANSMISSION

Sorry, the links were wrong.
Here they are:

You can't see the cooler here but the alum line is from the a/c to the condenser, A straight black line that you see under the radiator bottom outlet goes from the steering system to the cooler and the rubber one you side goes from the power steering fluid reservoir to the cooler:

Another view. The alum line that you see is attached to the a/c condenser:

here you can see the radiator on one side, the trans fluid cooler in the middle and the a/c condenser on the other side:

these are 2 alum pipes coming from trans, hooking up with 2 rubber hoses going into oil cooler:

This is not mine but is exactly as mine. The two hoses in the bottom go to the transmission. The other two go to the steering system and the power steering reservoir:

Hey guys, here's an update: 
Two days ago I called the trans shop main offices, and I talked with somebody in charge of complaints.  Today she called me back and told me that she talked with the owner and the trans technician and that their decision stands, there are not responsible because  water contamineted the trans fluid and the small letters in the warranty says that it's void is there's water in the trans fluid.  After a discussion on the phone, (she hung the phone on me) I checked the warranty and they do have a clause that says:  "The warranty will be void if RADIATOR water gets into the transmission".  So I only have to prove that there is no possible way that radiator water or coolant could get into trans fluid.  I have the diagrams and the picture of how the trans cooling system works.  On monday I'm going to DACO, thats like BBB down here. Wish me luck.

Very well. I am sure they are just "pushing" you to cover their mistakes. There is no way the water can hit tranny fluid unless you have a cracked radiator. Probably a bad rebuild or something. Did you experience any thumps and strange engaging after the repair? Ask the tranny shop what oil they used? If it's not Mercon V - then it could be also the problem. These transmissions require very specific oil and not many folks know it.
