Removed transfluid for weight reduction, now it won't go into gear

So, i wanted to get rid of extra weight, and oil is heavy, so i drained my tranny cuz "screw lube i'm going in dry". anyway, i drove my car around for a little bit and now no gears work. should i rebuild it or will topping off my radiator fix it? Pease Help!

If you empty the gas tank, the tranny problem will go away.

Oh it won't be a waste. Lot of calories in two gallons of gas; you probably won't feel like eating for a week at least. Think of what you'll save on your Taco Bell budget.

You should change to olive oil. It's less dense and will give you like 15 lbs of weight savings.
