Yes it most certainly can. On older Rear wheel drive transmissions, namely Ford C4 transmissions, there is a vent at at the very top of the case. If you try and fill the transmission while it is idle (no moving parts inside, like on a test stand or in your car that is turned off) you can easily fill the case and have the fluid start to overflow. Tjhe proper technique is to fill the transmission when the car is IDLING and in D or N. Park may not allow the torque convertor to fill and this is where the majority of AT fluid is stored. So if you are in P and the motor is turned off, the fluid may bypass filling the Torque convertor and end up coming out the top vent. On modern FWD transmissions, you fill the AT through the dipstick while in the position the dipstick says to test in, ie. D or N. When doing a pan gasket or filter change, it may take only 2 quarts to top off as you are not draining the convertor. It is also bad to overfill a modern AT as it may cause foaming or cavitation of the fluid, and that causes slippage, excess wear on the actuator pistons or servo's and mainly the ability to remove heat from the transmission, the prime enemy of an AT.

Can too much transmission fluid cause it too leak?
Yes.
What happens if there is too much oil in the transmission?
Too much transmission fluid in the transmission can cause the transmission seals to leak. The transmission builds up pressure when going down the road. The added pressure can blow up they seals.
Could filling the transmission fluid too high cause a leak?
Yes, that can cause the fluid to foam up and leak out of the vent.
1994 geo prizm transmission fluid leaking and will not go into gear?
The fluid could be too low to allow the transmission to shift. Depending on where the fluid leak is, the leak could be through a bad solenoid or soaking electrical connections, stopping the transmission from shifting.
What happens when too much transmission fluid is put into a 2002 Lincoln LS V8?
Changing the transmission fluid in your LS should be performed by a qualified service technician. There is a fairly comprehensive procedure for servicing the transmission and it requires that the fluid be checked hot and cold. Too much fluid in your transmission will cause it to jerk when putting in and out of gear, the shifts will be choppy and it may even feel like its slipping, and finally there is an overflow valve that will cause the excess transmission fluid to leak out and onto the floor beneath the transmission. A qualified service technician will know how much fluid is enough and how to get it out.
1999 fx2 transmission leak now it won't go?
The reason your 1999 transmission will not go is the fluid is too low. Apparently enough fluid leaked out of your transmission so it will not operate.
Turbo 350 transmission and it leak trans fluid out of the dip stick what could this be?
too much fluidit seems you may have added to much transmission fluid to the transmission there is a certain amount of fluid all cars require AnswerIF IT IS LEAKING WHERE THE DIPSTICK TUBE FITS IN THE TRANNY HOUSING IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY A BAD O RING
Transmission fluid overfilled what will result?
Overfilled transmission fluid isn't the worst thing in the world. Usually it will just either leak a little bit or rob you of your vehicles preformance. If poissible try to drain it to the proper amount. But overfilling transmission fluid is better than not enough. You don't have too much to worry about
Can too much transmission fluid cause slipping?
yes and it may cause damage to the transmission if filled too much.
Can stalling be caused by too much transmission fluid?
A vehicle stalling can be just one problem associated with having too much transmission fluid in the vehicle. Excessive transmission fluid can cause the gears in the transmission to heat up and experience damage as well.
What causes a transmission to pump fluid out of dipstick?
If too much transmission fluid is added, or there is something wrong with the pump
What happens if there is too much transmission fluid in 350 old transmission?
Your tranny will start to slip and damage trans. Too much fluid can cause the transmission to blow seals. Drain out the excess, immediately.
