Over-filled tranny?
Yeah so I changed my transmission fluid this morning (let it drain for an hour in case anyone asks) and like the smart guy I am I only put in about 3.2 quarts thinking to myself it would be a lot easier to add than drain oil right?
Well I check the level and it's like 3/4 of an inch above full! So I think, no problem, I'll just go drive it around and the oil will work in and the level will go down.
Well it didn't and I'm wondering if I should go to the trouble of trying to take some oil out?
Only thing I can think is that when I drained it it was still up on the ramps so some oil might have been trapped in the diff. but really the ramps are pretty low. *sigh* Why can't things just go perfect for once? Should I try to take some oil out or will it be fine? Car seems to run fine...
