In error I put about 3 ozs of brake fluid into my manuel transmission..Yea, I know it was a dumb error..Will this completely screw up the manual trans?? Yes I know the owners manuel calls for GL5 80w oil..

Hey, we've all done some dumb things before.
I don't think 3 oz is going to hurt anything, but I'd drain the tranny and with a suction gun keep spraying the insides as best as possible letting it drain out, and then fill it up again. |

Shifter---- 3oz. shouldn't cause any problems. Drain/re-fil your trans when you get a chance if you don't feel right about it. 3.7qt=~120oz.....3oz out of 120, unless it was battery acid or lye, shouldn't be any problem. |

Brake fluid is water soluble and therefore shouldn't mix well with lubricant anyway. It'll want to stay on the bottom of the case. I would do a simple drain/fill sequence. If it does bother you I'd probably dump maybe a couple of quarts of ATF (this flows easier than 80W or 90W) and try to rinse out any remaining fluid.
But on the whole, the 3 ox should bother anything seriously. I'd just do the drain and fill and that should cure your nerves. Then take 2 aspirins and call your local porn store in the morning. |
