Well now I seem to be having some problems with the transmission. I couldn't get the fluid out any other way, so I did like someone said and pulled the lower trans cooler tube from the radiator. Hardly any came out, so I started the truck to get the trans pumping. Then about 2 quarts came out. Caught most of it in a used oil can.

But apparently that was too much to drain off. Now it wont go anywhere lol. No reverse, no drive. I added back a half a quart, to see if that would help. Still nothing. What exactly do you have to do, to get the thing moving again if you drain off too much fluid?
