I don’t believe overfilling would cause that unless it was majorly overfilled, and then again, I can’t think of a way that excessive ATF would cause a problem.
When you overfill the fluid will cause cavitation, but even then the typical complaint is intermittent operation or slipping as the air in the fluid will allow pressure to drop momentarily in the clutches. I would definitely check levels and suck out the excess and go from there. -D > On Jun 8, 2024, at 3:59 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > Is there a code for "transmission fluid level too high"? > > Simple enough experiment to drain and refill to spec, no? > > > >> On Sat, Jun 8, 2024, at 15:39, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: >> I have this 98 e320 that I have had for a while.
