My son's new 85 123 has at least an extra pint, maybe two in the tranny. The reading on the dipstick is one inch above full. It was checked warm and running. Just determined this and will drain the excess ASAP. My question is, how would this make the transmission act and what will it damage? Currently the tranny likes to shift at speeds a little higher than normal and won't shift into 4th until 50+. Can I expect better shifting when the level is proper? Or will the fluid level have no effect on how it shifts? I'll drain the excess tomorrow, just wondering what to expect. TIA.
