Hi Group,

I had an issue with the shifting appearing too rough, slipping when going from reverse to drive.  Since I had only gotten a chance to driver her around a little I didn't think too much about it.  Then in one of my trips I decided to look - low and behold the level was low!  Then in my hast, and ignorance, I added the Dextron II (the bloody red stuff) - which thanks to Dave I just realized was a mistake!

But to add to the collectives knowledge base, when I did this the car acted somewhat like Bob's.  I had trouble going beyond second, unless I really drove it hard - fortunately I only did that once.

Now - what's the best way to fix this?  Drain, change filter, and fill with the gear oil?  Should I use some sort of cleaning agent to get all the fluid out?  Would it be OK to drain the fluid while I wait for the replacement filter?  Any advise would greatly be appreciated.
