No expert but it could be water contamination...?

Try draining the fluid and seeing what comes out...

Also, depending on gearbox.... some have a filter that can clog, replace and all is well again... but having said that... I'm no expert!

Good luck

if theres water in the box, then u will have to drain and refill it, but not sure how it would had got in there from just a puddle

...just how big was this puddle?

baileys_1984:
maybe the word puddle doesnt quite stretch it try almost going through a big ford  :shock:

Skibum346:
There are breather valves on most gearboxes and if damaged and water is deep enough (they usually sit on top of gearbox) then in theory, the water cools the gearbox... contracting the oil which sucks in ai.... unless under water... in which case....!  :shock:
