Well the dealer knows less. I will talk to him about the torque converter tomorrow... it does make sense that draining the torque converter will not do damage or else why would they put a drain plug on it? Though one of you said if you don't drain it you only get out about 1/3 of the old stuff. He put in 2 quarts which is roughly 1/3 the total capacity and it read overfilled. So this math works out, pretty much. But he said the old stuff wasn't bad, so I'm sure what's in the torque converter is fine, but I will talk with him on it.

So is the dumping fluid out the top vent a safety feature with the transmission to prevent overfilling?

Is your transmission dip stick kinda tough to get in and out of the tube? It's not easy like an engine dip stick.
