Most people know that low transmission fluid is bad news—but too much of it can cause just as many problems. Overfilling might seem harmless initially, especially if you're just trying to be cautious, but it can lead to shifting issues, pressure buildup, and even internal damage over time. If your transmission has started acting strange after a recent top-off, there’s a good chance the fluid level might be too high. So what happens when there’s too much fluid—and why should you fix it before it turns into a bigger issue? The Right Fluid Level Automatic transmissions are complex systems that rely on precise hydraulic pressure to work correctly. Transmission fluid isn’t just a lubricant—it also transfers power, cools the system, and controls pressure inside the transmission. That’s why getting the level just right is so important. When there’s too much fluid, it disrupts the balance inside the system. The fluid beco ... read more
