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:con::con:

Thats all thats required, put the drain plug back in and refill it, drive it down the street and back and recheck the fluid level and add a little more ATF if needed and your done.
