maybe to much oil when time is hot its gonna be overflow
you pour it down the transmission dipstick tube.....use a funnel.and only check the transmission fluid level when the fluid is hot....(use a thick towel)..... and add as much as needed to get the level to the hot mark on dipstick...... ,Neal
Possable transmission overheating and/or a plugged vent, or just overfilled. Allways check level when hot.
The automatic transmission fluid level on a 1982 Mercedes 230TE is checked by allowing the vehicle to reach operating temperature and removing the dipstick. The fluid should reach the hot mark and if not, fluid added as needed.
Add fluid into the dipstick pipe. ed724 Use a long nose funnel that could plug into the dipstick pipe and then add transmission fluid small quantity at a time and check level. Repeat until the correct mark (there is cold transmission fluid mark and a hot fluid mark on the dipstick). Never overfill tranmission fluid!
The transmission was overfilled when cold and overflows when hot after driving. There are usually two marks on the dipstick, cold and hot surprisingly. Fill to the appropriate mark. Also wait a minute and measure again after allowing the fluid to settle.
There is a dipstick under the hood of a Cadillac Catera that you can pull to check your transmission fluid. You should do this when the engine is hot.
You add transmission fluid through the same tube where the transmission dipstick is located. You need a funnel used for transmission oil. The funnel is long, narrow and the end can fit into the dipstick tube.
After you have driven the car and the transmission is hot, pull the dipstick out that says "Trans Fluid". It will be longer than the dipstick for the engine oil. You read it the same way as the oil dipstick using the holes at the bottom as level indicators.
I have a 2002 Chevy Tahoe as well. Like many cars, the automatic transmission fluid is poured directly into the same tube the transmission dipstick is located. The transmission dipstick has a red locking grip with the words 'TRANS/LOCK ->' imprinted on the handle. Do not confuse with the engine oil dipstick which has a yellow grab ring. The transmission dipstick has two ranges - one for cold transmission fluid levels, the other for hot transmission fluid levels. Please refer to page 6-25 of your user manual for specifics about this. Suffice it to say, the manual suggests only adding transmission fluid after checking the hot transmission fluid level where it is found to be low. The cold transmission fluid range is for reference only and is not trustworthy. If adding transmission fluid, be sure to use fluid labeled as Dexron III - any other type may cause permanent damage to the transmission.
On my 1993 Topaz, the transmission fluid dipstick is on the right side of the engine, near the front, just to the left of the battery. It looks a lot like the oil dipstick, but, when you pull it out, the writing on the dipstick clearly mentions that the fluid level should be checked when the engine is hot and idling, and that a certain type of Mercury automatic transmission fluid should be used to refill.
Either the transmission is overfilled or the transmission vent is plugged.
there is not usually a gauge for transmission fluid while the car is running you must pull the dipstick under the hood wipe it of reinsert and take out dipstick to read the results on bottom of dip stick there should be a hot reading line the fluid should come to .....or it could possibly say full or add also
