Thanks guys for the reply. The fluid was a little high when I last checked it, and now I think I may know why. When I pulled the pan to change fluid and filter this is what I found. I immediately went to look in the coolant expansion tank and there is no trans fluid in there, clean and clear.
What I did notice was the three cracks as outlined in the picture. (Btw, how do you upload a photo to the post as opposed to just attaching it?) Now, I didn't have any transmission fluid leaks, and if I did it was so minimal as to me not noticing, but can air be drawn into these cracks and cause the foaming, because they seem to be located in those areas. If so, could that cause the increase volume of fluid level readings and poor shifting? Thoughts?
The fluid is the normal red color and has no bad or burnt smell. It actually looked pretty clean.
The red lettering in the pic says "cracks in rubber gasket"
