Scott Gordon Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hi just had my transmission flushed and new toyota type 4 added to my 1998 sc300. I notice when I checked the dip stick when cold that the fill level was about two inches over the fill mark for hot tranny fluid. My question can over filling tranny cause damage? thanks scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overfilling may cause slippage, seal damage and overheating.." I'm gonna guess this means yes but I'm no expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 you did look at the dipstick with the engine running right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gordon Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 turns out it was over filled by 1 quart mechanic drained off 1.5 quarts then refilled the 1/2 quart with a universal tranny product?I was a bit gun shy allowing this given it was filled with the toyota type 4. but figured what could mixing 1/2 quart of a universal fluid do. so far nothing adverse. car runs smother for sure, almost seamless going through gears.
