Overfilling your Transmission Fluid can cause pressure which forces the parts in the transmission apart. This can cause gears, or bands to be pushed out of location, extra wear and damage. You can drain extra fluid off your transmission by using the plug on the bottom of the transmission. The fluid can be aerated from contact with the rotating parts. Aerated fluid in can cause slippage, lack of lubrication, and leaks. All of which can cause a major failure.
