These may be dumb questions...
Exactly where should my tranny fluid level read on that big ol' dipstick?
When is my tranny "hot?"
Why does a good "hot" read on the dipstick show overfull when "cold?"
I drained and refilled (no flush, just drained from plug and filled through dipstick hole) my tranny, and I'm having a bear of a time deciding if I've overfilled it or not.
I heard that the "hot" reading is more important, so I drove eight or ten miles, added some, drove a mile or so, added some, and so on until it read full at the "hot" reading.
Now it typically reads overfull when "cold," and the other day I checked after a long drive and it read overfull of the "hot" mark as well.
Have I overfilled my tranny?
Should I drain and try again?
When will my transmission explode?
Thankyou.
