If you are seeing trans fluid in your overflow tank you must have a trans cooler leak. If that has happened flushing is a must as well as flushing the cooling system also. Reality is anti freeze will destroy a trans quickly. Fixing the leak into the cooling system from the trans oil cooler is also a must . Problem is anti freeze will also leak into the trans and that can and will destroy the clutches quickly. Sorry to say it may already be too late

If you wanted to, you could bypass the cooler in the radiator (be sure to cap it so antifreeze won't leak out) and put an external cooler in place.
A big one like this should do the job...

Put it in front of the a/c evaporator, better yet, have a reputable shop put it in.
If you act fast, you might save the trans from a rebuild. 500 bucks here to flush and fill both systems and put an external trans cooler in could save you 1500 in the next week or so...
