I hit a deer and aside from bumper damage, the transmission in-line filter (from cooler) cracked and fluid emptied. Lost forward. Did not lose reverse. Ran line without filter. Added 3 quarts of Mercon V. Started driving. Few hours later, checked dipstick and it was dry. Bought 3 more quarts. They smelled like burnt rubber. Dipstick shows good level. Still no forward gears. I watched a YT video showing replacement of OSS(Output Speed Sensor) as fix. I drove out of state to retrieve the sensor, and have new filter arriving around January 3rd. My questions are: Did I cause damage by putting in possible bad fluid? Is there something I may be overlooking? Thanks!
