    Well there was barely any left in there, I drained it all out... the fluid is in my drain container to take to the recycle place later this week.

    And it was only like 10 feet, it wasnt in drive that long... I was already literally outside the automatic wash while I was draining it.

    And my friend that is an expert at Autozone said it would be fine because the transmission would heat up and all the water would evaporate out anyways, and be displaced by the heavier transmission fluid.

    I didnt come here to be made fun of, I need help.

    Uhhh, no. Don't listen to autozone techs, EVER.

    You clearly didn't let anything dry and or "evaporate".

    Replace the trans and be done with it.

    You do realize you don't need any prior knowledge to work at Autozone right? What part of Minnesota are you from? I think I can help you out with the 20lb sledge I've got in the garage.

    Btw...

    Why the hell are you guys reacting so strongly?
    It couldnt possibly hurt today's advanced transmissions to drive it less than 10 ft, I didnt even go over 1.5k rpms.

    I know you dont need any but he builds his own engines from scratch, he told me, so I know he knows.

    He told me I could just close it back up right after and it would boil off as I drive since it clearly gets hot enough to evaporate water in a working transmission... seems like common sense to me.
