I'm just really looking for tell tale symptoms of any damage I might have caused when I start using it again.
Seeing as I plan to change the ATF soon, I don't want to shell out on 12 litres of ATF if the box is about to fail, I'd rather wait for it to die completely and get a replacement one.

Talking of 12 litres of flluid, I've been experimenting with syphoning the stuff out.
Had some handy 5mm plasic pipe around and, as everything on this motor was overfilled, sucked the brownish 'oil' near to the end of the syphon and used a big syringe my missus obtained from work, to slowly get about half a ltr out to get it back to normal level.
Now ive got about 6ltr of ATF ready and a cheap Draper syphon pump, I'm gonna try and get most of the rest out via the dipstick tube and refill, give it a day or two and redo till its cherry red again.
