Driving home from work and busted a transmission return line and lost allot of fluid. Yes, I did loose all gears. My problem is that I had to refill with the only ATF transmission fluid available to get me of the hill. Now I have replaced the hose can I top it off with ATF-4 and go or do I have to drain and refill?

You're supposed to use Dextron/ Mercon ATF in the AW4, not ATF-4.

If you didn't use Dexron/Mercon, NOW is the time to drain and refill.
