What is the result of fluid underfill conditions?
An underfill condition may cause shift and/or engagement concerns and/or possible damage. The transmission fluid should be checked at normal operating temperature 180°F-200°F (82°C-93°C) on a level surface. The normal operating temperature can be reached after approximately 20 miles (30 km) of driving.
What happens if you overfill your transmission fluid?
As we already learned, overfilling your transmission can increase fluid pressure and lead to the creation of foam. This undermines the lubricating properties of the fluid. The resulting transmission overheating can lead to a breakdown of the seals, causing the fluid to leak.

If you have only filled it a couple of millimeters above the max sign, there is no need to worry. But if you have filled it a centimeter above the sign, it can cause severe damage to your engine. The engine oil reserve is designed to hold some extra oil to compensate for the fluid expansion which happens due to hot conditions.
What happens if the transmission is overfilled with fluid?
The transmission is vented so that pressure won’t build in the unpressurized areas. Transmission fluid can leak out these vents if it is too high. The seals higher in the transmission may also leak, but these seals are not pressurized.
What happens when a transmission seal breaks down?
When they do break down, these seals are no longer able to keep the transmission fluid within the gearbox. An overfilled transmission fluid can lead to the leakage of the fluid from the gearbox. This further robs the transmission of critical fluid. This can lead to a loss of ability to shift the transmission while driving.
