Ran it for about 1 minute or less. Just long enough for fluid to stop coming out of tanny pan. I got a lot of it out, a lot more than 4 qts. If you are familiar with those large buckets that cat litter comes in, probably 4 gallon bucket, I filled it half the way up, at least, with the old fluid. Smoke (lots of it) coming out from under car, and oily film now on back window. Just hope I did not screw something up that I can not fix easily, instead of paying $40 hour to get it done by some schmo.

Changing AT fluid. I drained it, then started car to get the remaing fluid out of the baffles so that I can start with fresh AT fluid in the entire system, I put in 9.8 qts of fluid, as that is the capacity listing in manual. Car is leaking the pink stuff now, from somewhere, and hitting the exhaust and smoking up Atlanta. I checked the stick and I am WAY WAY over full. Why am I over full? It is leaking from some point on the passenger side, and not at the pan gasket, where I would have thought it would leak from first. Where else can it be leaking from and why is 9.8 qts too much when the manual says it?
