Lexls tutorial illustrates the tranny fluid coming out of the

bottom fitting of the radiator. On my 1993 ls400 the fluid

comes out of the 3/8" tubing flowing into the bottom of the

radiator.

Anyway, in the confusion of all this I didn't realize that the fluid

had already flushed out and ran the car for several minutes while

the transmission fluid was draining (more like trickling) from the

3/8" tubing.

It runs fine, but wondering if I could have damaged anything

running it that long without tranny fluid.

Not a transmission expert but I think there would be minimal to no damage since you were in park and at idle. If you drove with low fluid I think you could damage the drive plates and develop slipping, overheating and excessive metal wear.
