Nothing...

May burp out the shifter or vent tube.

Draining is the easy part. Filling is usually the pain. Getting the thick oil back into the trans takes time to flow. What are you hoping to accomplish?

I just pour it in the shifter hole.

I have a friend who's car permanently smells like gear oil because he tried that and spilled it under the carpet, lol

Use a funnel.

Plus nothing works better at deodorizing a car than parking in the sunlight and opening all the doors and windows.

The effects will be terrible, a lot like when too much KY is applied
