So I took my car to the shop to get my valve springs changed. I get it back, and (among other probs) it's shifting differently. Basic probs is it's hanging in gear a little too long, most noticable in 2nd gear, I'll be running, say, 3k rpm at constant speed and it won't shift until I bring it up to maybe 3.5k. When it does shift, it shifts normally, not long or hard.
Before the car was shifting at around 2k rpm and would get into OD basically right away (assuming I wasn't accelerating hard), no high rpm shifts or anything. This seems more proper to me.
So I check my fluid after driving it for a decent amount and it's 3/4 inch overfilled (up to the last bend in the dipstick). I checked it hot, cold, running, not running, every time it was the same amount (basically). The shop doesn't claim to have filled it, but they must have, I guess. Anyway, I drained the fluid and filled it to the proper level (actually I accidentally overfilled it by about an 1/8 of an inch), and the shifting doesn't seem to be any different.
So my question is: what sort of effects would I notice if my tranny fluid was overfilled the car was driven to full hot... would it damage it? Also, should I be concerned about my overfilling it just slightly, or does it make any difference?
If it isn't the fluid that's causing these shifts, any ideas what might be?
Thanks guys!
