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.....




Dude your flux capacitor is gonna EXPLODE, better watch out

nah like said above as long as you didnt drive the car around, and you didnt leave it without fluid for more than a few minutes things should be fine
