It's doubtful that water inside is the cause of not having forward gears; you have two separate problems, water and distress in the rear clutch.

We have bought several Neons over the years with broken tranny coolers. We just get as much fluid out with the cooler output line as we can, refill with fresh fluid, run in place for a few minutes and repeat. Usually takes 5 or 6 times before the fluid looks completely red as it should.
As long as the tranny hasn't been driven very long with the coolant in it, the tranny survives. The water itself doesn't seem to do the tranny any real damage. It's the driving and slipping while it is in there that kills it. I don't know of any additive that claims to deal with water ingestion. We don't add any.
I know of several of these cars that are still daily drivers years after doing this procedure.
Master, again and still
