you need to let it drain overnight(maybe with the pan off)crank but dont start it to empty the TC.......then put it back together drive it about a mile then do it again.......then hope your tranny lasts at all after that

Wow... That must be ebonics! Or code! I must be getting old when that kind of spelling makes me scratch my head and wonder why the rest of the world is passing us by.
