transmission problems after fluid change

Featured Replies

Recently changed my tranmission fluid but I put too much in. I drove for 100 or so miles then I saw it was too high.I drained and filled it with the same fluid now it has torque bind. How badly did I screw up my transmission?

that's unlikely to cause issues but you've really given us almost no information at all.

clear details help overcome that we can't see, hear, smell, or touch the vehicle.

 

1. *** DESCRIBE "too much fluid"?

2. did any "blow" out the dipstick hole? 

3.  why did you change the fluid in the first place?

4.  what year and vehicle are we talking about?

5.  miles, history  - did you just get this car or have you owned it since new?

6.. has the fluid ever been changed? 

7. when was the last time it was changed?

8. what did the old fluid look like coming out?

9. were there any particles or debris on the drain plug when it was removed?

10.  is the AT light blinking 16 times at start up

11.  any check engine light?

12. are all the tires the same size and tread depth?

13.  has it ever been run on a spare or towed?

14.  the transmission pan wasn't removed or dented was it?
