A Bit Of A Laugh And A Disaster
 

So I went to change the oil in my 99 C23K and I sucked out the transmission fluid by mistake :eek:

How much should I expect to pay to have a transmission service at an indie.

No Idea...
Don't ya hate when you do something totally stupid?..
Been there, done that, many times over..

That's as bad as putting brake fluid in the power steering pump.....caught myself just before I poured it in. Yes, I looked around to see if anyone was watching.
WHEW!

Every once in a while at the shop one will come in with anitfreeze in the washer bottle. Talk about a mess:rolleyes:

Since you sucked out the trans fluid, you won't be able to go anywhere. Put in the same amount you removed.

I might have had a bit of reminant used oil in the collector and that is what is scaring me.

It drove fine this morning but I am still apprehensive.

One indie said $180 to service the trans. Another indie said $500 but not reccomended due to introducing new detergents in the system.

I am thouroghly confused.

What do I do at this point?

I'd pour the same amount of fluid back in that came out, drive to the indy mechanic, and have him correct anything that needs correcting on the transmission.
