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

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

Ummm...if it is in the brake fluid you don't want to use Pentosin!  If it is
the power steering fluid/brake pressure assist fluid then that's the
Pentosin one.  I don't know enough about UrQ's to tell you which reservoir
is which, sorry.  If it is the power steering/brake assist there is no need
to bleed the brakes.  I can't imagine a shop would have mistakenly put
tranny fluid in the actual brake master cylinder...EGADS!

--------  There has been a stupid error by the Repair Shop that "Worked" on
my '85 Urq and I just found out.   They bled the brakes and replaced the
fluid with ATF.   I just found out by checking the Invoice again then
looking in the container.    What is the best way to remedy the problem.
Should I just remove the Red fluid from the reservoir and fill it with
Pentosin and then bleed the brakes??  What could have been harmed by the ATF
in the system , that I should check before I drive the car, when I get it
started...I'm still reinstalling the MegaSquirt ECU, etc.   Does pumping the
peddle many times apply here , in some way?  They had told me that they bled
the brakes and were going to go to the SmogShop for the Test, but that after
just a few blocks, the breaks locked up.  That is All the info they gave me.
Thanks In Advance ,     ... Stephen Redford '85Urq with More Problems than I
need right now.
