It may cause seals to fail and fluid to leak from the vent on the trans case. It may also cause converter/pump failure.

Will a auto transmission shift gears if it has been overfilled?
overfilling the trans. will not effect trans. operation. If it is not changing gears properly, it is not because it was overfilled, rather, other problems occur. If a trans. is overfilled too much, the fluid will either runout at the vent tube or be "puked" out the filler tube. I disagree. Overfilling can allow rotating parts to foam the fluid, reducing its effectiveness, interfering with valve body functionality, and lugging the transmission. Here are quotes from a couple web sites supporting this: "Overfilling transmissions wastes power and can ruin oil seals, so check oil levels with the unit hot." "Overfilling an automatic is bad. Remove the extra oil before you have problems. Don't wait for symptoms to appear. Once they do, the transmission can be toasted. Too much oil can cause foaming, and once it foams it loses it's lubricating properties, plus the volume greatly expands. That just creates more foam, and once you have enough, it will come out the vent, and usually the dipstick."

What happen if you dont fill your transmission fluid up?
If the transmission is low on fluid then the pump that circulates fluid through the transmission and gives it the hydraulic pressure that allows it to work will cease to function. If you are low/out of trans fluid you should empty it completely and change the trans pan gasket and trans filter while you are at it (usually less than $15 if you are doing it yourself). If you continue driving the vehicle without trans fluid it will break the transmission.

Can you add transmission additive in 2006 charger and does it go in where the dealer only can check the fluid?
Due to the design and parts availability, only the dealer can do much of anything with the Charger Transmissions. I would not add any additive since you cannot check the fluid level, you may end up overfilling the trans.
