Too much oil inside the automatic gearbox what will happen except deterioration on the seals?

You will have foaming of the fluid, this foaming will cause the shifting stress as in you have too little fluid.





You can damage your seals, and eventually the clutches get burned.





If you have a transmission dip stick, you can use a Mighty-Vac available at harbor freight, and at a Auto jobber, with a piece of hose smaller than the diameter of the fill tube (avail at a good hardware store) and suck the excess fluid out. Other wise you may have to drop the pan to drain it out.





Vw states that driving the car 2 miles wil sufficiently warm the transmission to get a proper oil level fill to the ';hot mark';.





To check the fluid level, transmission warn, engine running in park.





If you don't have the dip stick, then where ever you puored the tranny fluid in you may be able to suck it out there too.Too much oil inside the automatic gearbox what will happen except deterioration on the seals?
If you are talking about too much ATF, the fluid will foam and cause damage to the transmission. Make sure you used the correct Type of ATF or you will really mess up!! Do you know most ATF levels are set with the motor running, the transmission warmed up and the shift lever in either Park or Neutral?
