need your help.my neon is giving me trouble

sounds like the tranny cooler coils in the radiator are leaking... time for a radiator.
It Definatly IS my sons 2002 Neon had the EXACT same thing happen to it HOPEFULLY you didn't get too much or any raditor fluid in your tranny or you'll be rebuilding that next, the radiator for that car is not very expensive, had to order it if I remember, got it from Advance auto, good luck, that can be a pain if you have to rebuild your tranny.
