Default water in trans fluid..

Sunk my jeep a little bit today and some how got some water in the trans oil.. Whats gonna be the best way to flush it out???

I Drained the pan, dumped in 4 literes, ran it in neutral. Then did that again 1 more time. Fluid still doesnt look right.

Should I just keep doing this?? Or is there a proper method

best thing is to get if flushed professionally, and change the filter after having flushed. most places do a flush for about 150

Disconnect the return transmission cooling line at the transmission and put a bucket under it. Start the engine and run it until the fluid flow starts to sputter. That will get you about another 3-4 quarts of the nasty oil out of the tranny.
