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."

Why would your Nissan altima 97 auto transmission be shifting gears too early?
If the 1997 Nissan Altima with an automatic transmission is shifting gears too early, it could be that the shift solenoid for the transmission is faulty. Both the shift solenoid and the speed sensor on the transmission should be checked.
What is the cause if the transmission does not shift gears?
Auto? Low or dirty transmission fluid? Plugged filter? Bad transmission pump? When my husband's car wouldn't shift (it was an automatic) it was his crankshaft sensor. It ran fine after that.

Your '98 Chevy Cavalier 2.2L auto shifts very hard into all gears can an overfilled transmission cause this?
I personally have never had a problem with an overfilled transmission, it could be from several different things. but i did just have a problem like this with my 1996 Cavalier. It was shifting so hard into all gears, especially 1st and Reverse. Pop open your hood and have someone else shift it while your looking at it, see if the engine moves. My problem ended up being my motor mounts, and my whole engine was moving with each gear. Hope this helped
