Do you think my mechanic maybe only drained from the drain plug and didn't remove the snorkel? If he did, I assume Id probably have to redo the entire flush? Transmission fluid is expensive but id rather waste another $100 than $4k on a transmission...just trying to figure out why an "experienced mechanic" would screw something up like this?
Guess ill just do what you did...pump in the other bottles and drain out excess, hopefully that works.
You wont get a ton out without removing the snorkel too if I recall its like 4" long or something. But yeah If I were you id just remove the battery & tray and top fill an extra quart through the filter hole and drain the excess and you should be good to go. Should be good to just pop the old (new) filter back on too.
This funnel works great for doing DSG top fill. I like rig up to the handle with bungie cords to the hood so I can just pour an entire bottle in the funnel and it drain hands free. Takes like 3-4 mins for each bottle to go in
