Over filled transmission???

[V8commodore_chick]

what would happen if a transmission was over filled?

[minux]

lol, you mean what will happen with your transmission because you overfilled it?

If it just overfilled not too much, how much overfill are we talking?

[V8commodore_chick]

well I didn't over fill it lol but I got my car back fromt he tranny place last week and checked the fluid on sunday and it was about 1.5 cm past the full mark I didn't think too much about it as I thought I'd checked it at the wrong time (hot v cold) and now in the last few days the tranny seems to be acting funny and when I put me foot down there's no kickback like it use to do. so I crawled under it today and noticed there's fluid leaking out of the torque converterwhere the tailshaft goes in

so there extension housing seal needs replacing. think thats form too much pressure from the fluid being overfull.
take it back to the place u got it done and show them and get them to drain a bit out and replace the seal

farout I just spent $1400 on the bloody thing and they go an stuff it up by overfilling it would that have anything to do with the lack of kickback when I floor it?

[Boonz]

no thats from the kickdown cable being adjusted wrong...

[V8commodore_chick]

I've tried adjusting that as they replaced it and didn't adjust it properly as it had no throttle stop on it but I got one put on an tried adjusting the throttle and kickback cables but nuffin seems to be working

[Boonz]

with the engine off, open to full throttle with your hand and pull back on the kickdown adjustment until its just getting tight. that should be about right

[Hairy Eater]

if the autos under warantee... take it back to the shop and get them to fix it properly

[V8commodore_chick]

yep done that peanuts, quite a few times didn't change a thing
