As it was a nice afternoon I decided to change the oil and oil filter with my new Pela pump but stupidly I've pumped out the ATF by mistake

Now I haven't a clue what to do what do I need and how do I put this right

I'm now going to crawl in a corner and cry and wait for the answer please

if the pella is clean put the atf back
or take advantage and get some new atf and replace it,

[missfixit70]

While you've pumped it out, you may as well drop the gearbox sump & clean the filter - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... =3&t=30096 however much you've taken out, you need to put back in, Dexron III, could be anything between 4.5 & 7 litres. Refill down the DIPSTICK hole
If you can't get out to get any ATF fluid, then if it's clean, you may be able to reuse, I'd at least filter it, but it'd be better to get new in there.

Too slow

I may have posted first but spent until now looking up the type of atf to use

As the ATF was new I've just replaced it, do I need to do anything now

[wonkanoby]

would still clean grime and gunk if you can from sump if you did not before

[missfixit70]

As the ATF was new I've just replaced it, do I need to do anything now

Put a label on the dipstick saying "gearbox oil"?
Check the level cold it should be above the top mark, then check it as the engine warms up, range through the gears to make sure it's everywhere it should be & check again.

Just be careful where you stick your pump in future

......Sorry mate but that gave me the best laugh since the Cadbury smash advert.

Brilliant piece of kit the Pela, what's next, power steering or the brake system.................

Welcome to the exclusive club who have a yellow ended dipstick....lots of us haven't got a yellow end....

It's not treatable on the NHS by the way....

OK all done, it only took me just over a day can I claim a world record for the longest oil change
