Ok guys I am very embarrassed to admit, but this was just a stupid mistake on my part. I just assumed that the tube that sticks up in the rear was for filling the Trans, and not so you could check the engine oil. I should of read the manual before starting this. But for the first time in my life, in over 30years of playing with cars, yes I drained 3qts out of the trans and put 3 qts of new trans fluid in the engine. Drove the car a total of about 5-10 miles. I had the car towed to a friends MB shop. Changed the engine oil, added 3qts of trans fluid via the correct fill tube, and car runs fine. Hard to say if any damage was done to the trans that may or may not shorten it's life. But the engine is very clean.
Again, drove maybe a total of 10miles max.

Thank you for all the replies, you can now add this to your joke list!! I'm laughing as well......at least now I am.

Edit: Exactly 3 1/4 qts came out when I drained, so that's what we put back in. Friend then checked the levels.
