Accidentally drained trans while doing oil change

[Primarytarget]

lol what a dope! Luckily noticed red fluid immediately and jammed drain bolt back in and had recently done trans dump and refill so had fluid on hand and already set up to read temp for level check. Seems like a different bolt size would have been a good idea, so the alarm bells go off in head when 14mm doesn’t fit.

I did same sort of thing on a car of mine many, many moons ago.

Right up there with doing an oil change only to find out you forgot to reinstall the drain plug first.
