    replace and flush with Dexron III, using K's guide - run for a couple miles to check the gearbox isnt fubar'd

    if its ok - replace with mitsi ATF or amsoil - sorted!

    Normally Dexron III isn't ideal for the boxes but considering you've just had gear oil in the gearbox and probably killed it anyway, I don't see much point in spending a lot of money on the correct oil. You just want to drive it very briefly anyway to see if it is ok, then go and get the real oil.
