Do I have a problem? Water and transmission...

I have a question.

I got some water in the top of the transmission at the shifter bushing area (see attached photo) where the shifter attaches.

I was cleaning out the interior with water for por-15 treatment and it got in there. :stupid: So is this a problem ? A lot the water has evaporated, but there is still alittle in there.

So am I in trouble here?

(BTW, the car is not able to be run at that the moment. The dash is off and the ignition is not connected) so I haven't driven the car since this happened.

depending on the quantity of water in the trans you could leave it there and wait for it to evaporate before running the car, or you could do what I'd do.

Drain it, ReFill it and cover the opening with plastic so this doesn't happen again. I would not run the car with any chance of any water being left in the trans/gear oil.

Thanks, that is what I will do. I had already planned on replacing the trans fluid as the stuff that is in there has been standing still for about 5 years and has only been used for about 10 minutes for the trip to my house from the mechanics.
