Running car w/o trans fluid

I ran my car with a quart of fluid in the TQ for about 20-30 min, was it safe to do that of could i have damaged anything? Near put it in gear, always was in park.

Re: Running car w/o trans fluid

I'm guessing that wasn't the best thing for it. Fluid temps were probably high not to mention starvation problems. Hlopefully you didn't kill that Monster.
