Default Transmission screw up
I accidently drained the trans fluid, cold engine. Dont ask, Im exhausted from other things, and didnt have my head on straight. I know where the fill is, and I have a transfer pump. What should I do now? Which fluid is readily available in Florida? Im a one man show. 2001 VDP NA. Thanks in advance.

If you have another car, run down to your nearest Advance Auto Parts and ask. Gotta ask: how did you drain it?

Autozone, O'Reilly's, Advance...I believe all 3 deliver. Get the 5 qt container, usually saves a couple of buck.
