HELP! Drained transmission
I did something really dumb today, while attempting first oil change on my 2003 4Runner. I accidently drained the transmission instead of the oil pan.
Fortunately I realized what I did prior to running the engine. That being said, I re-filled the Transmission with the specified fluid and it seems to be Ok for the 50ft that I drove it, to get it back onto my driveway.
Question: Is that all there is to it... just drain and refill the transmission as required to the proper fill level? Or is there a more complicated procedure to this? I ask becuase I once heard that for a transmision flush procedure, the fluid is Simultaneously drained and filled... presumably so that no air is entered into the system.
Thanks
