Kestrel Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Quick question. I just changed out the tranny fluid in my Buick Super. After re-filling with 8 and 1/2 qts. ATF and following instructions the shop manual I went for a 2-3 mile road test drive. The fluid now reads (engine running) about an inch over the full line on the dipstick. There was no foaming or anything and it ran well. Would you guys drain off this apparent excess ? I don't want to blow out any seals or damage the clutches somehow. There is the usual slight leak in the torque tube/tranny connection that over time I suppose would bring the level down. Any thoughts appreciated !

old-tank Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Won't hurt the transmission, but now the fluid level is above the pan gasket and maybe the speedometer cable site...may leak down to correct level on its own.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestrel Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Thanks Tank. I removed just under half a quart or so with a syringe through the dip stick hole. She reads just over full now. Good old leaks will do the rest. 😁 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
