I think I would find some new good transmission mechanics.

That is certainly not true on GM transmissions. When they are overfilled,
I did not write that...

Hey everyone,
Checking the fluid on the trans. Want to make sure I'm doing it right.
Hand books says running in P, hot. In this state, it reads low, but once
the car is turned off, the level reads above the high line. I thought the
book said when turned off of the fluid has slightly cooled,
Oddly chasing a transmission shift problem on my sedan I had to go
out and check the transmission fluid. Normally I don't do that because
of the risk of introducing contaminants. Ya lint free micro-fiber
cloth etc...
In checking the w140 owners manual it says, run car til hot. I've
heard

Hi Everyone,
Mentioned a slight drip from the trans a while back. First hot day here
today, and drove the car for about half hour. That trans dipstick gets hot.
hee hee. On the lower part of the stick, there are a couple of bends and
what not, and also two lines scrolled in the stick. With
with an engine at operating temp (85 degrees), fluid should be at the top
line. Difference between the lines is ~ 0.3L IIRC

it was. The fluid was about 2qt low, I just couldn't tell easliy how low
it really was and it took me a bit to get the fluid high enough to warm
the trans up. It's driving as normal now :D

So, simply (I'm deathly afraid of an overfill) if the transmission slips,
add more fluid in small amounts until it comfortably stops slipping. At
this point I will be able to drive the 15+ minutes to warm everything up,
and then properly check the fluid. Is this a safe conclusion?

Ok. When checking fluid on a cold trans, how long should I idle the car
to fill the torque converter? Next question, what distance on the
dipstick equates to 1/2 pint of fluid?

Luther; FWIW, I am afraid that your slippage is not neccessarily ATF level
related.
My '82 300SD with a 722.303 tranny has bad leaks and it always is low on
ATF. The higher I fill it, the worse it leaks.
Low is not a problem, overfilling is B A A A D.
I don't even check it anymore. I just carry a
