Default *BARF!* I had motor oil in my tranny...

Just wondering how bad this is for it... 2nd grinds a lil when it goes in. I always thought the tranny was just on it's way out from the last guy powershifting or whatever but yah... just wondering just how bad this has been for my tranny. I put Dexetron III ATF in yesterday and it's gotten noticably better but it gives me a quick grind going into 2nd still occasionally... thanks.

That's nothing. People who go to Bentley's chauffer class have to have special training on where to put fluids because some moron chauffer put coolant in the oil fill tube and ruined the entire engine in his boss' $450K car.

450K!!!! Wow!! and to think that guy could have owned about 18 LS1 f-body's for that much money. Hey, at least it's hard to confuse the radiator fill cap with the one marked "OIL FILL". LOL!!

one would think, but apparently not. There are a lot of people that shouldn't be driving cars out there.... like my highschool friend who went to "shift into 7th gear" on the freeway and promptly blew up her transmission.
