you could just drain it out and then run a few more quarts or trans fluid through it..and then get some trans flush...it should work fine

If you have an ATX, you need to drain all the fluid out, change the filter, flush the trans. Run the car for a few miles, and do it all again. Then fill it again and you should be fine. The torque converter holds quite a bit of fluid, thats why you need to do it twice. If its a MTX, you can probally get away with only doing it once.
