MTX shift interlock bolt Question

[omeara7]

Hi,
(92' MTX)
I "changed" my transmission fluid earlier today, and to drain the fluid, I pulled the shift interlock bolt. Afterwards (of course) I read about that bolt's importance and that I probably should have used a siphon to remove the fluid. I didn't move anything while the bolt was out (luckily) but is there a chance that the interlock lowered at all or would I know it if it did? The car drives fine after adding 2 and some quarts of Pennzoil Syncromesh. Also, is it harmful to have a mixture of automatic dexron transmission fluid and Synchromesh in the MTX? Thanks in advance.

Mixing the fluids won't hurt anything. You sound like your ok. Only time a prob is going to happen with removing that bolt is if you move the gear shifter. And scince you can shift gears yet, your fine.

Thanks,
I think everything is ok too. I have noticed a difference with the synchromesh gear oil. It feels fairly smoother, which is surprising considering I only was able to add 2 quarts.
