2001 CVT - full of the wrong CVT fluid! How to flush?

[420se]

Hey folks,

Just picked up an immaculate 2001 CVT Micra 1.0 with an autobox that can't make up its mind after the previous owner serviced it it with the wrong stuff.

It's full of 'Comma CVT Fluid' - very pale and stinks to high heaven. Very different to the red Dexron III I have used previously when I have serviced a CVT before.

I would suspect the autobox isn't agreeing with this new stuff, am I correct?

Question is, how do I go about flushing it out? Not happy with mixing the residue with the new Dexron III.

Many thanks!

Rex

Balls, might have a buggered CVT then :-( It's also very overfilled on the dipstick.
