I have a 2w drive and I did a oil change recently. I think I did it wrong though. I removed the oil filter and placed it with a new one. The only thing is that I drained a fluid that might of not been the oil. I drained a liquid that's in the panel in the middle of the vehicle. It looked like the oil panel so I loosen out a bolt and liquid came out. The next day my car would shake when I would keep the car in a stop or as a start to accelerate. I looked on YouTube and everyone is un screwing a different bolt that I took off. So can anyone help me out and if you have an idea of what liquid I took off that would help. Thank you

It sounds like you may have drained your transmission oil out. What color was the oil? If it was reddish then most likely it was from the transmission.

It was like a light clear color around orange or a little red. It wasn't like thick and black like oil. That's when I noticed it wasn't the oil. Do you know how I can add more transmission fluid

Look under the hood for the red dip-stick. You will need a long, slender funnel to fit into that tube and refill the transmission fluid there.
Tell me you didn't add more engine oil to the engine after you thought you drained it.

Sounds like you drained the transmission fluid... hopefully you didn't do too much driving or you'll be looking at major transmission repairs in the near future.

So... you drained the "oil" and then you added more oil? Did you ever bother to check the oil level on the dipstick after you were done? If you have too much oil in the engine, that's not a good thing either and you need to address that problem as well.
