Drain it all and pull off every hose so it doesn't end up in the cooler or radiator.Was doing a check of all fluids and noticed my transmission fluid was low so I grabbed a jug with red fluid in it and added a quart. Then noticed it was 50/50 Toyota red! Fack me.
What should I do next. Haven’t driven it yet.
Just got off the phone with a shop and they said that since it was not turned on, I was instructed to drain the pan before a flush. The quart I added through the dip stick tube ran right into the pan and didn't touch the inner components, thus I was instructed to just drain the pan, then refill, then like jpool suggested drain the pan again and refill. At that point, I could then take it in for a full flush, which the shop said was not needed.Take it to the cruiser shop and have them do a full fluid change per the fsm.

That's what I'd do, drain and fill, maybe twice or more until no water comes out. Then start it, run it through the gears, shut it down and check the dipstick for signs of water contamination. If it's not milky, take it for a drive and check it again. If it is milky at any point, don't run it anymore and do a full flush.Just got off the phone with a shop and they said that since it was not turned on, I was instructed to drain the pan before a flush.
