ok. about 5 days ago i changed the transmission fluid in my 100k 90 XR7 AOD.(last part of the royal purple treatment) i did so according to the directions in the haynes shop manual.(just the transmission pan, not the torque converter). it was a long, painful process due to the fact that cork gaskets just plain suck. after i had drained the pan and put it back on, i accidentaly poured 10 quarts in through the dipstick, instead of the 9.5 i am supposed to. so i hear it gurgle and the extra fluid comes out on the ground. after im done, i pull the dipstick out, wipe it off, put it back in, pull it out and there is fluid half of the way up the dipstick. so i figured that it would just take a day or two for it to settle so i could take a reading. i take it for a spin around the block and at first it doesnt want to shift at all but then it gets slightly better the more i drive. i get home, pop the hood to check on things and there is smoke billowing up. i look under the car and the tranny fluid has dripped onto both of the cats somehow, causing the smoke. so i take it to the car wash and do the high pressure wash on the exhaust and tranny pan to get the fluid off. i put it back up on the ramps today so i could find out where it is exactly leaking and i realize that it isnt leaking anymore. i put it down, check the dipstick again and its the same: up to where it says "warranty" on the dipstick. do i really have that much fluid in my transmission?!? i know that its supposed to be bad to have too much fluid in the tranny. it still doesnt want to shift at first when i drive it, but then it gets slightly better. the owners manual says to have a "professional technician" get the extra fluid out if there is extra in there. most importantly, am i frying my transmission? was i supposed to put the fluid in through the dipstick tube? what can i do myself?!? anything would be helpful. thanks.
