I bought a W123 Haynes manual for my 82 300SD only because Haynes apparently doesn't make a manual for the 116 body diesels.

The parts computer at Autozone says the 300sd trans take 6.5 quarts of fluid. The W123 manual says the same for the 123 trans. So I put that amount in and the dip stick now says it is way over filled. The level of the fluid is above the bend in the bottom of the dip stick.

Will this hurt the trans? The car shifts normally.
