After driving it and checking on level ground, I was still reading way high. Also, when going from park to drive or reverse. The tranny really clunked and it felt like I had to keep my foot pressed firmly on the brake while doing so. It never felt like that before. I made a pump from an old liquid hand soap dispenser. After thouroughly rinsing it I went to the hardware and got some plastic tubing that was the same diameter as the stem on the pump, they had it on a spool and a dipstick length was about $1.38. after purging some clean ATF (from a bottle) through it. I stuck it there and pumped out almost a full quart. Shifts much smoother now, both while driving and when putting it in gear. It reads almost full after I've driven, parked on level ground, then wipe and check a few times.
