Doh! Better check the engine oil level! If it has another 5 quarts in it you will blow up the engine as well as ruin your transmission by running it dry.

Thank goodness I didn't do that. I took the old oil out of the trans and it was dirty pink. I put the new in the dipstick hole for the transmission. It is now over full. The engine runs fine and the oil looks just like it should, but when i pull the plug on the trans. nothing come out and if I stick my little finger in there there is no fluid???
