Just to clarify, I want to get my transmission so that it is running according to spec. I'm just really, really surprised it works as well as it does with no vacuum and I wonder why that is. If I were certain I had too much fluid I would have drained some out by now, but the seemingly inexact nature of the dipstick makes me uncertain about the fluid level.
