Jeff,

Drive it to OP temp, park on LEVEL (I actually put a level on the valve cover)
let it sit a few minutes (5) with the engine running at idle ,Then with your foot on the brake
...run it slowly through the gears ending in Park,Check the dipstick ...compare both sides.

I've also experienced a harsh 2-1 downshift from a standing start, with a slight overfill.

Do Not Over Fill !

My indie overfilled my tranny, I didn't check it for a week; I now have a leaky trans. (It was perfectly dry before!) I now need to add 1/2 quart every 1500 - 2000 miles.
