[urq] ATF fluid in the reservoir : What to do?

[Max Hoepli]

Best to flush out with brake fluid, fill and leak out at cylinders till no
more red fluid runs out.

--------  There has been a stupid error by the Repair Shop that "Worked" on
my '85 Urq and I just found out.   They bled the brakes and replaced the
fluid with ATF.   I just found out by checking the Invoice again then
looking in the container.    What is the best way to remedy the problem.
Should I just remove the Red fluid from the reservoir and fill it with
Pentosin and then bleed the brakes??  What could have been harmed by the ATF
in the system , that I should check before I drive the car, when I get it
started...I'm still reinstalling the MegaSquirt ECU, etc.   Does pumping the
peddle many times apply here , in some way?  They had told me that they bled
the brakes and were going to go to the SmogShop for the Test, but that after
just a few blocks, the breaks locked up.  That is All the info they gave me.
Thanks In Advance ,     ... Stephen Redford '85Urq with More Problems than I
need right now.
