[QUOTE]after I started driving her around it was geting really difficult to get into certain gears...anyway I checked the manual and it stated it only took like 1.6 quarts or something...so I kept the car level and pulled the overfill plug and sure enough all kind of fluid came out...about .5 quarts I would say...

 

Standard practice,here;I always overfill my tranny,by 200 -300 mls.just to make sure the pump does'nt get starved on sharp lefthander at high speed.

 

That's exactly right.

I could tell you about the time I didn't tighten the lug nuts on my wife's car... but, I don't have the cajones.

(the good news is we're still married)

 

 

Chaz I hope I never do that to my wife's car, she wouldn't divorce me, just kill me in my sleep.

Overfilled my first car ('91 subaru legacy sport turbo) with engine oil. Boy did it run bad, but at least it didn't damage it.

 

So DO over fill it?

 

some people do that, i personally overfill it a tad, just as you see the juice is stop draining down, i close the plug.

i used to have a tiny bit of gear oil leak
