Well the car was not shifting well; however some traces of oil was found in the radiator. Apparently mixing with the Transmission fluid. Radiator was changed, but that seem to have solved the problem for a day. After which the gearbox gets over heated and coolant just spills out from any weak spot.

When seeking help on the forum, it's always quite helpful to provide those responding with the MY, engine type and size and other useful information such as stored DTCs. It's also useful to let everyone know what symptoms you observed and road conditions that caused the issue to occur.

Well, your radiator has no provisions for transmission cooling if you have the 4.0 V8 so your radiator issues have zero to do with the transmission.

To add the radiator only carries coolant, no transmission fluid. If you have traces of oil then it's engine oil and you have bigger issues than your transmission.
