[urq] [s-cars] ATF fluid in the reservoir : What to do?

[chris chambers]

Stephen,

I'd be concerned that the fluid could damage seals in master cylinder.

I recommend having a qualified tech remove all fluid from the 
resevoir and then immediately flushing the system.

The shop that made the mistake should pay for the service.
