    Nasty ATF and Manually Tranny Fluid Spill in the beater protege...

    I was changing fluid on my other two cars (auto and manual) and was in a real rush. I was taking the fluid to get it disposed of and spilled it all over the passenger side carpet.

    Well it is a beater and it stinks.

    I am too lazy to remove the carpet altogether (I really dont have time).

    What would remove this?

    I mean it is soaked with ATF and Manual Tranny gear oil.

    I don't want to pull out the old stanley.

    I know, you all have nice cars and I got this car in poor shape to begin with.

    I bet it hurts to see this post.

    Thanks

            No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

                  Yeah, there's nothing like working in a shirt that you submerged in a container full of tranny fluid and is soaking wet. You never get any other stains on the shirt. Heck, there's also nothing like going out for a drive in a shirt just taken out of that fluid-filled container too.
