changed the differential & tranny fluids to mobil1 today.
now I think I might have overfilled the tranny:
I jacked the drivers side up & opened the fill hole to see how much is in. the old fluid was slightly dripping out.
then I drained the whole thing through the drain plug & refilled it through the fill hole that it just started dripping again. so far so good...
what makes me nervous now, I put the old fluids in an empty 5 quarts pennzoil container, & the container didn't even get full to the brim.
the differential took about 1.6 quarts & the tranny around 4½, so I think the container should have been full to the top.
but then, on the other hand, if I put just enough in to start it dripping again, how could it be overfilled?
btw, didn't notice any difference while driving; neither with the tranny nor with the differential...
