This is embarrassing but here we go. yesterday I did several sessions of draining my transmission pan. during one of these drainings I did not refill with 4qts of mercon before starting my contour. Yes I know! The car ran a couple of minutes in park before I came to my senses and shut her down.
I wanted to ask some of you here, if in your expertise u think this will come back to haunt me. Does this sound like a scenario were their was scorching of internal components or friction damage. After filling the pan with 4 qts of mercon, I did place a rag across my drain pan when I removed this fluid, and did not find any metal shavings if that means much.
I'd appreciate your feedback on this. I'm instituting a mandatory checklist for myself whenever working on my car in the future, im still in disbelief for doing this.
Thanks for your time.....
