Oil in Transmission Fluid

[karmapolice]

So I just purchased my 87 z a few days ago. I hadnt eaten today and am moving soon so my heads not exactly in the game. Ive been putting off adding oil for the past week or so, and so I decide to do it before it gets dark. I somehow started filling my transmission fluid with oil, but quickly realized Im an idiot. Is it going to permanantly damage my car if I drive it to a shop to get it flushed or should I get it towed? Keep in mind I probably only put in about 1/8 of a quart before realizing my mistake.

Its been a long couple weeks and Im trying to find a place in Tucson to move into so I can go to school for the summer. Ive just been so out of it and so stressed.

Any opinion or help would be greatly appreciated. Im not a car expert but I do know my basics and Im just dumbfounded as to how I could have done this. I must need sleep...

Thanks in advance.

Drop the pan..change tranny fluid..run it..cleanse again...

Im not a mechanic but thats what i would do..

It being an old car anyway should I just get it flushed?

Hence dropping the pan, changing the fluid..run it a little, change again to make sure you got it all out.

Im sure they make tranny system cleaning fluids etc etc.

KY?


Anyways OP just do what everyone else says. Drain, fill, run, flush, refill.

Unless you know somewhere that'll do it cheaply it's a huge ripoff to get somebody else to flush it.

Thanks for the input. Im gunna see if my mechanic can do it cheap, and if not I guess I will be learning.
