transmission ?????

[GregoryChristian]

I just replaced my radiator this weekend and now the transmission is acting weird ...I lost a little bit of transmission fluid during the process but added some afterward ..I am wondering if I overfilled it or not .. How coud you tell ? and what would happen if it was overfilled ?

Easiest way to tell would be check the dipstick. Let your car warm up, then with your foot on the brake gently shift into each gear and sit for a few seconds, then come back up to neutral and check the stick. The tranny fluid should be up at the cold marker and no higher. You wanna make sure you're on a level surface when doing this. Overfilling causes pressure problems that lead to pre-mature failure of internals.
